The Palace of Typographic Masonry is an (imaginary) institute for the splendor and variety of visual languages, the brainchild of Dutch graphic designer Richard Niessen. For The Veranda of Floating Threads , RNDR was invited to use the consistent visual vocabulary of the patterns, the rhythms and the variation in complexity in the interweaving of horizontal and vertical lines of kente (textile of the Ashanti and Ewe people of Ghana) as point of departure for an exploration in creative coding. The ‘test strips’ used in the offset printed publication have been created by a specially devised software program using the letters and words in the essay about the kente fabrics by Christel Vesters. Published by the Palace of Typographic Masonry, 2021 Designed by RNDR Softcover, 16 pages, color and b&w offset, 8.7 × 12.6 in.
