Medialab Prado

A three day typography workshop led by Manufactura Independente, with the assistance of Rafael Parrilla Vallespín, dedicated to "rescue" the Old Belgian Saw Mill facade's typography and release it under open licenses. The goal is to work together on the digitisation, design process, packaging and public release of a typeface inspired by the Serrería Belga wall lettering. REGISTRATION CLOSED
