The font was developed as a means of displaying the written language of digital systems and algorithms that communicate without human participation. The main task of Algoitmo-8 is to create the illusion of typing a text that is meaningless from a human point of view, to make it hard to read, to disguise the content of the message. The font is inspired by the works in the field of experimental typography, first of all by Wim Crouwel’s New Alphabet.
type cachou
This typography for the music group Cachou, merges childish carelessness and adult audacity. Like a coloring overflowing with spontaneity. Each line represents the mistakes and scars that are part of us, it is through these experiences of life that we are formed.
This approach is made to exceed conventional limits, refusing to be conditioned. The lines are variable and they embody the dynamic performances of the group on stage.
SPACE-TYPEFACE
“Space-Typeface” explores transforming flat letter forms into three-dimensional shapes. It emphasizes legibility and aesthetics in spatial and temporal dimensions. The project offers an experience of transferring flat letters onto 3D volumes. Letters are created from virtual ink—light, projected onto protruding and inverse cube volumes, transforming their appearance through spatial changes.
Bubble Type
“Bubble Type” is a bilingual legibility spectrum exploring the transformation of letters from a liquid state to bubbles, pushing visibility and legibility boundaries. Beginning with fluid, formless letters, it emphasizes motion and abstraction. As they solidify into defined bubbles, the design tests manipulation limits while maintaining recognition. This spectrum challenges traditional typographic notions and examines legibility across languages, creating a unique bilingual visual experiment.
Kinetic Typography
A study investigating how the process of an analog material changing over time can affect Arabic/Latin letterforms.
solit
solit is a sound-based writing system and typeface that bridges the gap between English spelling and pronunciation. It uses segments of Latin letters to systematically create new glyphs representing sounds, enhancing intuitive comprehension by balancing the desire for novelty and familiarity in type design.
Plot
The project explores the experimental use of analog tools repurposed for new graphic outputs. A laser cutter was modified to act as a writing instrument, but it cannot lift the writing tool, often crossing through the text. Thus, a new typeface was designed to meet these constraints. The project „Plot“ demonstrates how technical limitations can be leveraged to create typographic solutions.
The sound of letters
We all sound like letters. Letters form into sounds, sentences, everything is very distinctive. AI helped create a connection in these worlds.
IntAct Making Things
The graphic explores music notes and graphic notation, using existing elements to create new graphics with the principle of Making “M”aking to create Things.
Same story – Multiple iterations
How can type, layout, and shape add additional meaning to a piece of text?
Climate change is real
While climate change is real and the challenges are significant, there are numerous opportunities to transition to a more sustainable and resilient world.

What will artificial intelligence tell us?
She kept prompting and prompting the AI to write in a language that was both familiar and unfamiliar. The analysis of artificial intelligence and the special effects of Photoshop are presented in this work.
Break down the walls
A visual study that employs the grid and typography to convey and illustrate the transgression of social boundaries.
“Letters are signs for sound”, Eric Gill.
Exploring how the form of letters changes due to sounds by capturing the vibrations that occur using a plastic bag, water, classic music, and a camera. Diving into playful typography, both literally and metaphorically.
Material vs Sensation
Weightlessness? Lightness? Metal? Close or far? On the surface or in space? Writing something or flying? AI helped me create these interesting and strange searches.
Going Viral
This piece of experimental type is the title illustration for an editorial piece about a drag queen exploring the relationship between internet virality and a positive HIV diagnoses. The piece will be featured in a new publication called Physical Release and will be distributed by ASHwell, a sexual health and wellness organization based in Austin, Texas.

contemplate
Within the chaos of daily life, letters and words blend into a grid of confusing shapes. It is necessary to stop and admire the surroundings, then contemplate: to find meaning and direction, in which the act of contemplation, pause and reflection is hidden in silence, to catch a breath and appreciate the harmony hidden in the mess.

FILTH
Maite Oswald, a design student, explores AI’s role in graphic design. She asks, “How dirty is the use of AI? Are we, as designers, rendering ourselves obsolete or is AI just a tool that can’t replace true creativity?” She is currently working on a series of posters featuring AI-generated typography. Each poster is composed of several AI-generated images, which have been meticulously retouched and edited. Where does AI end and her creative process begin, and does using AI make her a ‘nasty girl’?
