Drawing inspiration from”Dark Forest Theory,” it is about the risk of communication in the cyberspace where people are reluctant to be real online because of an incre asing sense of threat and danger on the internet. Online space create anxiety/paranoia and narcissism, from external and internal, so some people form another domain separate form open public, a virtual -Utopia that they can feel safer to be in and interact with people. To my point of view it’s a form of Escapism.. If a typeface can create a safe feeling that they’ll be able to heal from the anxiety and narcissism that digital space formulate(either in the dark forest or public web)? Or can a therapeutic typeface heal people’s fear that they’ll be willing to step out of the forest ? And reconstruct the map of the internet a new realm of ideal online space?
