Designing an identity for an emergent initiative like Planetary Civics (www.planetarycivics.net) requires not giving answers but a visual language that enables questions. I designed a variable font at Dark Matter Labs, which is in constant flux between disorder and order, question and answer.

Dark Matter Labs was built through a series of blogs and evolutions of thoughts and frameworks. Words, in our context, are often a means to think, not just to communicate. Words are constructions of logic, tools to assemble thoughts and perceive the world. As such, we take them very seriously.
