It took a few pages. At first I was having trouble understanding where Drucker was coming from and what she was addressing. After reading further, I became interested in learning about one of the first authors to experiment with typography. I never thought of typography's role in the shift in thinking that came with modernism movement, especially in relation to literature. I found the early forms of typography grids and guides very interesting. The concepts Mallarme used in early 1900s are the same I'm learning and reading about in graphic design. The way Mallarme spoke about those "successive, incessant, back and forth motions of our eyes" gives a better reason than any to experiment with and explore our options with typography. I would like to use the thinking that Mallarme used in manipulating the typographic from, and think of the "hierarchal figural form" the way he did.
