All these Open Windows, but No Fresh Air







The book all these open windows, but no fresh air was designed as part of a master thesis project at PBSA Düsseldorf. It deals with the cultural consequences of digitization.

Whether using the monospaced, sans-serif or serif style, the three typefaces work together harmoniously and help to structure the book.
