Typeface

The type used is "Banknote Roman",but only by the note’s designer since it’s not really a font.
That’s because it’s all hand-lettering, based on a handed-down set of characters that currency designers must learn how to recreate.

It is a Serif decorative face with a European lineage. 

Its patterned and shaded 'fatface' letterforms exhibit the continent's 19th century fascination with elaborate engraving techniques.

The Object

It is a U.S dollar bill that was folded to write different words with the letter already on it. Folding to write or see different pictures was something popularized by conspiracy theorists to make believe that  the U.S government planned events like 9/11 and more. 

Typographic Analysis and how it will influence my work

There's not much to say about the typographic layout because the way they are read couldn't be decided and wasn't the designer choice since the type was manipulated by different people to create different sentences. This will influence my work and help me understand the font for my next project and  how i could try to manipulate my bills to create different meaning.
