Crafted by Tony Cragg for the 75th anniversary of the German newspaper Die Zeit, the sculpture "Type Face" bridges different eras, much like the newspaper itself. The artwork incorporates molten lead from old newspaper typefaces into its bronze, grounding it in journalistic tradition. Simultaneously, its surface is imprinted with the binary code of 0 and 1, a subtle nod to the digital future. This piece thus serves as a powerful symbol of the convergence between print tradition and digital innovation.
