typohypergraphicobject unfolds an articulate inquiry into an “agenda for conscious graphic design.”

Through this work, Langdon’s voice critically engages with and questions established perceptions in graphic design—how graphic design’s visual charm captures our imagination from childhood, probes the inherent conflicts between activism and creative independence, and examines typographic reasoning in a world where material abundance and whitespace no longer exist.

Langdon also explores the transformation of traditional crafts and skilled labour into tools governed by profit-driven technological corporations.

Rather than anchoring itself in closure or permanence, typohypergraphicobject leans into the fleeting—what might be understood as “monumental ephemerals.”

These are not grand gestures, but accumulations of minor intensities: marginal notes, typographic hesitations, quiet refusals. Here, the act of design is not just a matter of form, but a mode of attention.

Each visual decision flickers between intention and uncertainty, surface and subtext, carrying the weight of thought without insisting on resolution. What emerges is not a system, but a trace—a layered field of signals, shaped as much by doubt as by conviction.

At the opening, Lauria Joan crafted 10 special bindings from leftover materials used in the book’s design and production—each one a trace of that moment. These copies are now available for purchase online.
