“Type type today” — newspaper about fonts and typography. Your monthly herald of font gossip. Headings for each article are typed in different display fonts from the TypeType collection, thereby showing the font in action by way of example.

Snipers of the Bathroom is an illustrative project targeted towards understanding the importance of sitting to pee. Through this project, I would like to shed some light on understanding the popular misconception of the act of standing to pee as a symbol of masculinity. My approach to this issue heads in a humorous direction, with illustrative figures symbolizing strength and with the selection of the blue color, as it has often been rather linked to masculinity. The act of sitting on pissing may seem like a small and insignificant act, but in reality, it represents a larger shift in the way we view masculinity and gender roles.

The type can tell the culture and connotation of this country. Chinese calligraphy Chinese characters convey emotions through the creation of artistic conception with the help of strokes of Chinese characters and rich changes in ink and brush. In this typeface, I want to explore the material relationship between fonts and real objects. For example, A is as robust as a mountain, X is as soft as the Tang Dynasty ceramics, and K is upright and powerful as a Hummer. In the style of the font design, I used basic strokes of Chinese characters to associate the form with bamboo to increase the aesthetics of its oriental font. Fonts are sometimes not only text information but also image information.

A paradox that answers the question, “What’s wrong with the world?”—the piece was a part of the art exhibit ‘Protest, the Art of Dissent’ in Austria, Vienna.

A part of visual research about ways how visual communications are working in urban landscape and infrastructure. How would we describe with a tool of visual language our experience about contacting with information in public places when our attention is chained to smartphone screens?
So I used smartphone camera to take a photo of sticker on the metro station floor, keeping in mind that I can’t stop to observe it thoroughly because of humans traffic, but have to inform myself about the message. As result I made a poster series about that experience.

Heute:_

Designlanguage and various custom typefaces

„Heute:“ is an offspace gallery in the former shipping center of the Quelle-catalog company. The design is based on two key aspects. The different typefaces and the grid structure that functions as a variable logo.
Deconstructing grid and design guidelines in combination with layering type is the visual language that reflects the temporary and bulky kind of the gallery.

The reuse of colored paper scraps gives the format. Pre-printed and produced on site on a risograph.


Experimental Logos/ sticker sheet

Complexity; the interplay of many features – according to this concept, typographic experiments became logos for the design studio complex pleasures.

It isn`t Happening 2

Custom typefaces and typographic poster

For the It isn`t Happening Collective and festivals, I developed the basis for an inclusive open source design system based on the use and development of some of my typefaces.

Distortions and superimpositions in the typographic architecture and with the type bodies are freely used to reconstruct the experimental soundscapes with type.

1. Vote: Ignite civic duty with a dynamic, impactful typographic design – a visual call-to-action urging US citizens to exercise their democratic right to vote.
2. YAS WE CAN: Celebrating LGBTQ+ rights through a vibrant and bold typographic composition, inspiring unity and empowerment in the ongoing fight for equality.
3. 2023: Jumping into the new year with a whimsical balloon-inspired typography, encapsulating joy and hope as we soar into fresh beginnings.
4. Playground: A journey into the cosmos with an astrolabe-inspired letter O, marrying playfulness and discovery in a mesmerizing, celestial design.

Imagine a font that reveals more and more details the closer you get. From clearly readable in small size to illustrative in medium and to something completely new in large scale. A kaleidoscope, a psychedelic trip, this is Psyleidoscope.

This project is about the body. What I want to explore is not only the physical body but also the visual body. The body can be the design of text, the design of types, and more experimental visual direction. In my typeface design process, I use my body movement to perceive how the types change, using performance to give types emotion, and people performance dances together to convey the relationship between the center of types gravity and structure of the types, and so on. The body experimental typeface was purchased for use by the Focus Group in Berlin which is a global group of artists from diverse backgrounds.

What new things can emerge from the old materials?

A visual identity for the exhibition is designed that celebrates the new values of the reused old.

Letters cut by a plotter from foil glued to a sign were peeled off. The letters warped uncontrollably.

This project gathers several experimentation realized around the reality,
the virtuality and all the questions that I ask myself.
Today we talk about virtual reality, but I think that even in the physical world everyone has his own reality,
his own point of view. What makes our world is made of multiple and infinite realities.
Everything has been done on the iPad pro with Procreate. The manual design through digital
is a typical representation of our society with multiple realities.
Reality is just a matter of vision and the way you see life.
Everyone has their own reality of the same world we live in.
This is what my reality looks like;
Jovial, positive and hopeful.

Processing of the Putin script where the letter N rotates into a Z. The Z is one of several symbols painted on military vehicles of the Russian Armed Forces involved in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Poster created in memory of the collapse of the Morandi bridge in Genoa. The broken text that falls like the bridge, the black outline like a death announcement

A sheet of the old Letraset which reads Fake News. If you pay attention to the news you will discover false ones.

This poster design was for filmmaker Vincent Dieutre’s talk event hosted by FOL and IKSV as a part of 36th Istanbul Film Festival. Dieutre is an avant-garde filmmaker who creates docu-dramas he stars as the protagonist. I designed a custom lettering for this poster to represent Dieutre’s experimental approach.

A reaction to leaving my twenties and embracing the moments that define my age more than simply a number. The end of one thing becomes the beginning of another.

My work was an exploration of diverse methods and mediums, pushing the boundaries of creativity. From traditional pen and paper to digital illustrations, I experimented with textures, colors, and compositions. Each day, I challenged myself to think outside the box, merging different techniques to create letterforms. It was an exhilarating journey, filled with moments of inspiration and breakthroughs.

Type Thursday is a monthly gathering in Tbilisi for type lovers from all walks of life and any experience level. The goal of the poster was to attract type-lovers that never heard of the event before, and to give joy to those who are already a part of it.

Since the event takes place only on Thursdays, the poster contains elements specific to the calendar. And to please type-lovers, the main role is assigned to custom letters in a complex space with the familiar Unicode marks.

The poster has AR Instagram mask that applies motion version above the physical static one.
