Integrate the Type

“Integrate the Type” is a message to use typography as a physical element of design. The type should not be limited to two dimensions, but should have a mass and actively engage the space it occupies. Being the subject of light, casting shadows, and having a texture should not only be properties of physical objects, but of the typography as well.
