3sec.gallery: Studio Studio

On view at 3sec.gallery until mid-December: Studio Studio! The Ghent-based design studio let the location set the brief — two reading speeds and two viewing distances. Drivers take it in at a glance; pedestrians take their time.

Studio Studio extended the contrast between speed and taking time into the composition of the posters. Each letter of the sentence “We choose light open near paths to build and give today now” is set large (macrotype) on a poster, while the opposite word is placed small (microtype) inside the letter. For example, the “W” in “We” is made up of “They”, and the “C” in “Choose” is composed of “Reject.”

To generate the posters, Studio Studio built a parametric grid engine with AI support, controlling layout, scale, spacing, rhythm, and density — while keeping it flexible. Based on the principles of their community-driven digital archive Another Graphic, the program has been made available to the public.
