Type after the pixel

The error became the method

At the edge of the 1986 fold-out, the type does not sit still. A handset phrase slips across a field of scan lines; a lunar frame breaks into square tones; a fluorescent rule misses its cyan twin by two pixels. The misregistration is not a defect. It is the moment the image admits that it was made.

I keep returning to that decision because it feels useful now. Start with the limits of the tool, then make those limits visible: let the bitmap stay coarse, let the diagonal interrupt the column, let the black carry the color. What looks unfinished becomes a record of the hand, the screen, and the pressure between them.
