TypeIs is a project that exemplifies the possibility for non-linear typesetting through original artistic software as well as exhibited artworks that challenge fundamental concepts in the field of typography. TypeIs utilizes two fundamental elements that separate it from modern commercial typesetting software. This thesis classifies TypeIs as a media-art-research project, which is an initial attempt to define a term which encompasses a practice that grounded in both artistic and technical approaches. This practice takes on aspects of artistic research, art-based research and technical research while attempting to do so in equal weights. Furthermore, the products of this practice are exhibited in both technical and artistic contexts. A crucial point in this definition is that both sides of this practice, the art and the research, inform and influence one another.
