My bachelor's thesis explored gender-fair language and the typographic possibilities that come with it. Language is never static – it breathes, shifts, and stretches to accommodate the people who speak it. As new identities become visible and old binaries dissolve, I believe typography should evolve alongside. After all, it has done so before. Think of the ampersand: once a rushed ligature of et, it became a glyph in its own right, so familiar we barely question its origin.
The idea: gender-fair ligatures that automatically adapt while typing, transforming glyphs so they take up as little space as possible. A subtle typographic shape-shift. That’s how Mimikry was born.
