On Plants
Typojanchi 2019: 6th International Typography Biennale
On Plants is a multisensory installation that reimagines language through the interplay of light, sound, and typography. Letters circulate between spaces and non-spaces, forming a continuous landscape that invites viewers to engage in a visual stroll. The installation includes two parts: Type Forest and Variable Type Show. Type Forest brings together nine writing systems—Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Thai, Hebrew, Devanagari, Chinese, Kana, and Hangeul—into a typographic environment where scripts coexist beyond cultural boundaries. Variable Type Show presents a motion-graphic film made with adjustable variable fonts, offering a visual and auditory experience to viewers seated on bean bags within the space.

PLANE AND VERTICAL’s secondary brand, Soft Hard is an experimental, multilingual publication that serves as both a newsletter and a creative playground for cultural workers. Each issue invites a wide range of professionals—designers, architects, artists, curators, writers, and independent publishers, among others—from diverse cultural backgrounds. The publication features a loose and non-linear structure, along with a quick turnaround time, in an effort to remain fresh and relevant to our constantly evolving interests and circumstances.
Founded and published by Yuseon Park and Immanuel Yang of PLANE AND VERTICAL. Soft Hard will soon be launching a new form of platform.

On Plants is a synesthetic space created of multilingual types and various fonts. The types that are reconstructed between spaces and non-spaces are recognised as perpetually circulating texts. On Plantsvisualises the landscape as circulation through a circular structure with light and sound; it provokes the creation of a new strolling space in On Plants.

On Plants is created of Type Forest and Variable Type Show. Type Forest is a work in which nine different types (Latin, Cyrillic, Arab, Thai, Hebrew, Devanagari, Chinese, Kana, and Hangeul) conjugate and become a harmonious forest. By representing multilingual letters related to the forest, a unique landscape is created where the world’s alphabets break their boundaries and coexist as a singular unit. A Variable Type Show presents a film of variable fonts, evolved form an axis that allows users to adjust the thickness, width, and visual elements. Visitors can enjoy the film through sight and sound while sitting in bean bag chairs placed inside the On Plants.
