»Graphis Scripta« is a variable display typeface that abstractly traces the symbiotic nature of lichen. It has its roots in gravestone inscriptions from different epochs and grows along two axes into ornamental allegories of ecologigal grief. Printed with bioluminescent ink made from lichen pigment, the typeface comes to life on paper and offers a playful approach to the complex process of mourning over dying landscapes and changing ecosystems.

This is a fun branding project for SavageDesign, a digital studio run by a friend of the designer. It involves experimenting with a blend of physical and digital media, combining mixed analog techniques with 3D rendering in postproduction.

The poster is dedicated to Memphis design group. On the background of the poster, you can see the letters of the Latin alphabet, assembled from various elements that characterize the design of the Memphis group. Initially, the poster was in color: the palette matched the popular colors used by designers.

The experimental typographic poster merges Arabic and English typography within the Type Text LDZ Project, showcasing Lodz’s cultural richness. By incorporating Arabic text, it enhances the visual narrative and emphasizes the city’s multicultural identity. Masking type creates a layered effect, symbolizing the intricate tapestry of diverse communities in Lodz and providing a fresh perspective on its cultural landscape.

I’m Oddval and I come from the Valley of Odd. It’s an interesting zone, the birds here sing a pretty song, there’s always music in the air and sometimes it’s sunny at night and snowy in August. I like it here.

I’m visually oval and curvy but I’m literally really fit and healthy. I like weights, that’s why I support and lift so many of them. In my family, we come in all shapes and sizes, we are diverse and good shapeshifters.

Typography simulating cell proliferation, which is built along specific forms, using mathematical functions, based on python code.

pen and paper: strange, modular, contrast, dull, curved, or symmetrical. all the letters were just quick and expressive sketches (nothing more, nothing less, a bit random); becoming the annoying vectors on the display. trying to find something interesting over there. working on bringing it to life.

A series of experiments using neural networks (AI) to search for non-obvious and corroded letterforms. More than four thousand letterform images were created. Selected samples were used to create a set of fonts in OTF format.

The work for “Un Peu Noir” techno event features lettering and logo design. The hand-painted lettering compositions undergo a series of experimental processes, transforming from 2D to 3D to achieve an unpredictable, semi-analog, semi-digital textured look. This approach captures the event’s edgy and immersive atmosphere. *Seems like a GIF didn’t work, so resubmitting once more – hope it works now!

A daring exploration of letter forms — akin to adult games outside the conventional. It evokes a tantalizing sensation oscillating between the freedom of self-expression and the fear of scrutiny. Is it still permissible?

I was involved in a study project at my school where we tried out combining the Latin and Devanagari alphabets. It was important to make sure the Latin alphabet was still easy to read. I focused on the horizontal śirorekhā line of the Devanagari alphabet to create a link between the two cultures. I did the first part by hand to make it look more artistic, and then I did it in vector.

In a photographic series the writing „Rundgang“, printed on a flag, adapts to various locations of the Berlin University of the Arts. In each motif, the letters are deformed in different ways. The result is a typographic play influenced by the buildings and elements of the university. The series served as the key visual for the 2023 annual exhibition. The font in use is Gabriella from Fernanda Cozzi.

“Attracted” is the title of an interactive toolbox. It combines typography, scientific curiosity, aesthetics, knowledge, and experimental work. The formation of letters is linked with a process that occurs in nature: magnetism. A physical force that saves our lives daily by protecting the earth from solar winds. Similar knowledge can be found in four accompanying interdisciplinary magazines, which contain quirky and fascinating facts about magnetism.

How can movement be translated into (a) form? The project delves into the choreographic qualities of typography and the correlations between dancing and writing. A vocabulary of movement traces has been developed in collaboration with a professional dancer. These characters are stored in an OpenType format to make them applicable.

The work for the ‘Un Peu Noir’ techno event features lettering and logo design. The hand-painted lettering compositions undergo a series of experimental processes, transforming from 2D to 3D to achieve an unpredictable and textured look. This approach helps capture the event’s edgy and immersive atmosphere. The final look is on the border of digital and physical techniques, being both retro and futuristic.

This is the letter I, which signifies that your totem is yourself. My totem is dichotomies. Destruction, with which you suffer, but thus keenly feel life. The shape of the letter was found in an impulsive drawing of this letter, processed according to the feelings.

This project explores the intersection of programming and typography using Python to generate a glyph system of all possible combinations within defined pixel parameters. In the shown example, 4×5 glyphs are used, creating all 1,048,576 possible combinations. Demonstrating a brute-force approach, this experimental design strategy integrates code to develop a versatile symbol/glyph set.

Visual identity for an artistic event held in the Valongo region of the city of Santos (coast of the state of São Paulo). To create the logo, the name of the event was projected on the wall while translucent objects were moved close to the projector lens, creating movements and irregularities.

There are invisible characters in the UTF-8 Unicode character encoding standard: Hair space, thin space, punctuation space and many more.
This experiment measured the width of each invisible character with p5.js to dynamically manipulate the kerning of single characters. By analyzing the brightness of individual pixels of an image and inserting them at the corresponding lines and characters, image patterns are emerging in the text through white space and densification.
