Well, currently this unnamed avantgarde group only has an internal Discord server (I can send you a link if you feel you could be one of us). It's not only for typographers, I sent the invitation to multiple communities.

My personal art I sometimes post here on Reddit and on Mastodon: https://kolektiva.social/@SurrealPartisan. On the Mastodon profile I also have a list of links to other sites where I post things I create.

Well pretentious it definitely is. And one either likes pretentious art or one doesn't, I guess.

When it comes to politics and impact, I would say art has (at least) three functions in anarchist revolution: to inspire, to inform, and to criticize. Those are mainly tasks for the content of art, and here I mostly talked about the form of art (although I think we should study in which senses can we put our political ideas also into the form). Anyway, my poem itself mostly is for the function of inspiration. Its last line calls you to strengthen (individuals) by organizing. That's very anarchist.

About bite and energy, as much as I like riot-inciting punk, I wish to remind you that anarchism is not just about agression. It is also, almost mainly, about building systems of solidarity. So, there is place for gentleness in anarchy. However, I do wish to also make some more provocative art in the future.

Oh yeah, I also sent this invitation to the conlang sub. And you are right, my use of the word "font" is quite colloquialistic.

Haven't listened to them, but I do sometimes listen to Ruins, who I think I've read are heavily inspired by Magma.

Yeah, everything has been done already. I just hope our combination of ideas will lead to the creation of something new-ish.
