Please type using the keyboard. Click anywhere on the screen to switch between the two styles of mingle (‘Mingle’ and ‘Unmingled’). Click 'screenshot' to download a remnant of your interaction. Reload the webpage to start over.

Mingle is a monospace typeface with two styles: ‘Mingle’ and ‘Unmingled’. In ‘Mingle’, each alphabetic character is cut up in such a way that it mingles, while typing, with the subsequent character within a word, forming a new hybrid letterform. The characters in ‘mingle’, therefore, do not come ready made. Rather, they are assembled and collaged in the act of typing. The typeface explores the choreography of typing as a creative rather than reproductive act. Mingle combines qualities of asemic writing with a functional typeface. It keeps the reader in a state of hovering between reading and looking.
