Présentation de l'éditeur

Three interconnected palimpsest essays recount (1) the backstory of a ''meta'' font recently updated by Dexter Sinister and used to typeset the Contemporary Condition book series, (2) a broad history of the rationalization of letterforms that considers the same typeface from ''a higher point of disinterest,'' and (3) a pending proposal for a sundial designed to operate in parallel physical and digital realms. Along the way they contemplate the ambiguous nature of our shared idea of *time* itself.
