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.

Visual identity for a collection of books written by African authors created by the publisher Companhia das Letras. To create the covers, a geometric typographic pattern was created that refers to the idea of ​​weaving and the fabrics made by some African people such as Manjak and Shoowa / Kuba. Each cover contains a pattern based on the author’s name (Paulin Hountondji, in the example sent).

The “Archiv 8. März” project analyzes the media presence and visual communication of the German Women’s Day protests. It encourages everyday feminist protest through an interactive poster generator. At the heart of the project is a custom typeface made from 159 out of 3413 unique letters, written by original protesters and extracted from media images.
The font spans three styles, representing three expressions of modern protest. Each style features 26 feminist symbols.

‘Mantras’ is a pattern collection that reflects on the intrapersonal effects of lockdowns. Using my diaries as a starting point, I assigned a word to describe my weeks for a year; each prefixed by ‘re’ as a nod to the repetitive nature of both the patterns and life during quarantine. I chose calligraphy as a way to turn these words into an exploration of patterns, type and legibility, as well as a tool for processing this period. These patterns serve as a subjective timeline of 52 weeks.
