Probably the most obvious mark of the architect working as a graphic designer is the sense of construction in the graphic work. This can be very clearly observed in Wijdeveld’s typography. One can see the curiosity and play with the building blocks that are put together in various formations to create type. These Constructed Typefaces are designed from an assigned set of geometric shapes, iterating through all the possible combinations that would give the familiar letter-shapes. As the trial text shows, they were aimed as headlines for the Wendingen magazine.
