Typ0s make you human (so please excuse all of mine :)
Minuet Workshop is a graphic design, research, mini-micro-nano press, and bookbinding practice by Stephanie Jin (that’s me*).* I graduated from Central Saint Martins with a masters in graphic communication design and an undergrad in English literature and language from the University of Edinburgh. I buy too many books. I am based between Edinburgh and London. I drink my tea with copious sugar and condensed milk, but dislike most other sweet foods. / Minuet is a slow, graceful dance as well as the music that accompanies it. Musically, it evolved into its own longer form, the Minuet and Trio. For me, I like how it sounds phonetically (mostly), and its associations with small yet precise and complex movements. It is pronounced mi-new-ette. It was a gut decision. / I enjoy thinking of words, type, and books as active, devious, playful objects. I hope this is enough of a bio.

Centered around the making, crafting, and conceptualising of books, words, type, text with a healthy dose of wit, experimentation, and light-hearted play.
Thinking of type and books as active, devious, playful objects, Minuet Workshop is a book(ish), text-ual, typ0graphic playground.
In ‘Work’: view book projects, designs, and research bits that explore typography through a linguistic and semantic lens.
