From fiction to theory, from mystical analyses to visual works, Plain Text — from the French type foundry Plain Form — explores typographic imaginaries, moving beyond a strictly historical and technical framework, with a taste for the unknown and the dormant potential of writing.

Plain Text 4 wanders through asemic writing, typographic grafts, dragons, doodles, rituals, strange worlds, unruly letters, and the occasional font war.

Contributors include Marcus Leis Allion, Anne-Dauphine Borione, Erik Carter, Gabriele Čepulytė, Chloé Delchini, Lucas Descroix, Benjamin Dumond, Yunru Li, Alexandre Michel, Radim Peško, and Stephanie Specht.
