#dearLondon for TfL

keywords : TfL, Johnston Typeface, Twitter, Social engagement

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Johnston typeface, Transport for London and KK Outlet have commissioned to create a bespoke twitter machine to include as many Londoners in the exhibition as possible. Using the Johnston typeface the specially designed and created Twitter Machine will print all tweets featuring #dearlondon live in the KK Outlet gallery.
This Twitter Machine will function as a low-fi printing press which is linked direct to the #dearlondon hashtag on twitter. The audience are encouraged to tweet their 70 character love letter to London in their own language and join in the conversation.
