The article will examine these four projects under the umbrella concept of Deconstruction, also extending into a consideration of Legibility; setting them forth as examples of the impact that the digital medium has brought to bear upon typographic practice in recent decades. %U https://intellectdiscover.com/content/journals/10.1386/tear.11.3.209_1
