How should stuttering look in text? Can representations of stuttering in written form reflect its spontaneity and variety? Host Patrick Campbell is joined by Chris Constantino and artist Conor Foran to discuss how Conor’s final project in art school led him to a decade-long project in creating a typeface, Dysfluent Mono, that represents stuttering. Conor explains how the font tries to escape stereotypical references of stuttering and his journey to publishing the magazine Dysfluent, which uses the font.
