The Paradox of Tolerance by Dalena Train is an expressive type book that explores how censorship is a disservice to society. Train believes type can be manipulated to explore and communicate an idea, and that with a broadened sense of awareness, we can uncover the truth. This book shows this idea through it’s use covering of abstract, high contrasting, black and white text within various sizes and styles throughout. This allows more expression to be given to the words and phrases left uncovered, for example, there is no censorship on 2 pages of large text, “Censorship is the tool of those who need to hide actualities from themselves and others…” The contrast between the sizes also draw attention towards that portion of text, as well, such as the “But am I hurt, yes…” paragraph in the final photo.
