"#$ After careful consideration, Dixon's system, which was already the previous target for expansion by at least two of the present authors when it came to adding Modular and Geometric Type-related categories to an existing system (Brandão et al, 2021), is similarly our prime pick for the analogous process pertaining to Variable and Parametric typefaces.…”

“…Those systems are not inclusive of these fonts and cannot properly describe or represent them. The main trend is a complete lack of dedicated Variable and Parametric categories, or tags, and, per Brandão et al (2021), also of Modular and Geometric tags, which would then force us to put all of these typefaces in generic and, thus, unsuitable categories, even if nominally correct.…”

“…We present the proposed extensions to Dixon's system (Fig. 16), including those earlier set forth by Brandão et al (2021), in Appendix A, and a preliminary test of them aiming to cover the maximum variety thereof, having chosen, for reasons of economy, Fit (Fig. 19), a specimen which would elicit the need for those related both to modular and geometric typefaces, and to variable and parametric ones, also presenting it in Appendix B.…”

Climate change is impacting on all aspects of contemporary life. Many artists provide a compelling vision for speculative futures, awakening a creative consciousness using imagined worldviews. This paper presents my practice-based research that aims to establish how visual art can engage with issues-based concepts and ideologies through the presentation, re-presentation, and interpretation as a framework for engaging with climate change issues and realigning society to sustainable futures. This paper takes theory, and artistic practice as methods means to respond to themes and issues of climate change. In the context of practical research, the arts-based approach and art theory research alternate between planning, theoretical research, practical action, reflection, and evaluation. Through digital art, this study creates a discursive space that relates to daily life, where people can deeply understand the interconnecting relationships between humans and the planet; simultaneously, it also shows people an achievable ecological future and encourages people to think and find an existence conducive to all. This existence is not the present, but a possibility for human beings to explore the future through the reshaping and reimagining of the present.
