THE  HAPTIC  POTENTIAL  OF 
PAPER  IN  COMBINATION 
WITH  BRAILLÉ  TYPE


..................


Here you can see my practical work for my bachelor thesis.
I made an inclusion book. It is designed to encourage the teamwork an the social aspect of such people with a handycap and those without. It's just possible to have access to all the given information if you're a team of at least one blind child/adult and one that is fully sighted.

 
Material that's been used. You can see some common material. The special ones are the pattern and a so called "stichel" to press the braillé dots in the paper. There is also a pluster pen taht created the metallic dots on the hybrid font. After giving it some time the color starts drying and completes it round surface. Brilliant effect for a small amount of money.
Used typography. The capital letters "Hase" and "Igel" are part of a typography based on the Din Norm for space between braillé dots. It is a hybrid font designed for this project only. A way to combine normale black font with haptic dots.
