Typographical experiment utilizing a conversation I transcribed after overhearing on the green line train. The treatment of the type mimics the lack of comprehension one has when overhearing people talking in such a loud and busy setting. The illegibility or difficulty of deciphering the words is meant to recreate the experience of overhearing and the use of the postcards serves as a way to jumble up and decontextualize the conversation even more. 

The green cards serve as the voice of one person who was generally saying more and speaking at a noticeably louder volume than the other person (white card) being more reserved, uninterested, and purposefully quieter.
