Abstract
This research explores unconventional methods of creating three-dimensional type with materials and techniques unique to type design, such as ceramics and 3D printing. Today, technological convergence and new manufacturing processes using computer numerical controls have broadened creative possibilities and the perception of the three-dimensional experience for artists and designers. With the development of digital technologies, letters can be printed in three-dimensional space, and this will cause a paradigm shift in the typographic experience regarding the development of material and manufacturing technologies.

When this research project was introduced on online and has gone viral, it set an interesting discourse. Mainly, there are two different reactions. One side is very excited for printing ceramics and the other side expressed their concerns and worries about these new machine-driven crafts.
