Speculatype investigates the transformative potential of experimentation in the perception and creation of Latin letterforms. By detaching typography from the constraints of historical printing and linguistic utility, the text treats the alphabet as a site for scientific inquiry and artistic exploration. It establishes a radical framework that encourages designers to move beyond traditional problem-solving toward an open-ended investigation of what letterforms can become.
