Assuming that the letters of the Hebrew alphabet have a molecular structure, how does this affect the Hebrew alphabet, words and language?
The Laboratory for Molecular Typography was established in an attempt to answer this question. As part of this, about 140 tests were conducted and potential ideas were tested. The study developed non-linearly and during it nine topics were defined: elements, language, gender, formula, weight, gravity, three-dimensionality, generative research, word games and letters.
The Laboratory for Molecular Typography illustrates how the system of signs from which the Hebrew language is composed is arbitrary. Through laws, new uses, meanings and occurrences for letters, words and sentences are created and the formalistic dialogue between 2D and 3D is examined.
