Experimental lettering “KO” draws its influence from Chinese calligraphy.

Fangs Out is a typeface that originates from the digital realm. This font stands out from the usual generic appearance by incorporating a calligraphic element, thus bringing an artistic and unique touch. The characters of Fangs Out blend the precision of digital design with the elegance and fluidity of calligraphy, offering a contemporary and refined aesthetic. This combination allows Fangs Out to stand out and bring an expressive and visually captivating dimension to the texts it composes.

In dem Projekt Diversity liegt der Fokus darauf, eine neue Schrift aus dem japanischen und lateinischen Schriftsystem zu entwickeln. Dies sollte dadurch erreicht werden, dass Hiragana und Katakana unverändert als lateinische Zeichen gelesen werden. Durch die überlappende Darstellung der einzelnen Striche sollte der Charakter und Aufbau der japanischen Zeichen veranschaulicht werden. Die Textwahl viel auf ein Zitat des Musikers Tunde Olaniran, welcher sich mit seiner Musik für Diversität engagier

You know these mornings with big breakfasts and fried eggs — everything is a bit stressful but in a good way? »Eggcellent« is inspired by those warm and pure moments and shows that every little thing could inspire your life ant that coincidences often start the funniest trains of thoughts. Everything you need is creativity, fun and some eggs in your basked.

«Bass» is a generative approach to typography, coded in processing. It manipulates an existing fontface using circular cut-ups that are rotated following different parameters. These are some samples that use as source the fontface League Spartan, by Matt Bailey and Tyler Finck.

“I SEE NOTHING.” The poster questions the inability or failure to perceive certain societal or cultural phenomena.

Scotch Biplex rigorously exhibits extreme stylistic contrast, mixing roman and italic of Shinntype’s Scotch Modern in the Contextual Alternates feature, tick-tock. This genre is perfectly suited for blending the two styles, with their pointed disparity of construction (not least being 20° of slant) anchored in the even colour pertaining to both the similarity of widths between the said styles, and the enormous pot-hook serifs of the italic lower case, which fill out the mid-x area quite nicely.

If the essence of the Contextual Alternates feature is to provide two or more different glyphs for the same character, just how different might they be? Prompted by the death of Jamie Reid and informed by his ransom note typography for the Sex Pistols, Polypraxia is a single font design that mixes four full typefaces to create a similar kind of pseudo-random effect. Dozens of genres could well have been represented, but this is an invention of keenly structured disfluency, with just the four.

This work examines the issue of text legibility in the domain of graphic design – a field of art that has had a significant influence on the development of contemporary social communication. Due to the functional character of the letter, the aspect of legibility is a basic requirement for the realisation of the superior function of text, which is to convey content. For centuries, however, the letter has been entangled in a relationship between the message it carries and its visual representation

A series of works made from materials (boards, plywood) that were already in use and thrown away. The project emphasizes the importance of finding new characteristics in yourself and looking at them as your strengths, rethinking old experiences and looking for both positive and negative things in them, and learning from mistakes.

“Diffusion Canvas” shows the results of two workshops where type systems and layouts were generated using an image-generating AI. The AI does not understand the semantic content of typographic systems or layouts, but attempts to decode, imitate, and expand them based on the data set. By overstraining the AI, the results are free of design standards and intuition: type and layouts on the threshold of coherence, recognized and interpreted by human understanding of type, semantics, and composition.

In the design of the 25th anniversary edition of the poesiefestival berlin, the AG Grafik focused on the essentials: A classic Antiqua font combined with hand-drawn lines, punched dots and typesetting errors are reminiscent of the manual process of writing. The color space is as reduced as possible: black text on a white background stands for the relevance of the written word. The visual concept is irritating, not always legible and explores the possibilities of presenting poetry through design.

The project is dedicated to specific signs of different languages as part of the visual identification of different countries. The project is not finished.

The project is based on real events. In today’s world, many are forced to relocate due to shattered pasts. This forms the core idea, represented by the cracks in broken tiles shaping a random font. Each crack, like each person’s story, makes every letter unique, carrying its own history, character, and form. To enhance the font, volume was added, followed by a time dimension showing letter movements in space, as demonstrated in the video.A key question arose:How to imbue more meaning into letter

Glitch refers to an unavoidable, unpredictable disruption in digital systems. Glitch feminism takes the idea of the glitch and acknowledges that in a social system dominated by exclusionary power structures and marginalization, a glitch might not be a mistake but a systematic error.
reify is a variable typeface that glitches, that can avoid the responsibility of being useful, that can disrupt, that can be an error, but doesn’t have to be.

nomo is a monospace font with variable advance width. The narrowest style is 300, the widest 900 units wide, the whole spectrum possible. This translates to the font being of the same weight within a style (mono), but in total different along this width (nomo).

Who does a system suit and who suits the system? Which characters can show character? What does it mean to occupy space and break through its boundaries? How can we recognize, strengthen and show the beauty in disobedience?

Every season, the Neubad Luzern work commissions a new designer to create 10 illustrations for the monthly programme. The inspiration is based on the tiles of the former swimming pool and the varied and multi-layered programme of the cultural centre. The lively, almost chaotic atmosphere of the Neubad is reflected in the project.

It is interesting to note that many viewers, whether designers or not, recognised or wanted to recognise typography in the illustrations. This is particularly amusing

NeoMech is a font based on basic geometric shapes, exploring the possibilities of creating typefaces with minimal components. It forms a unique mechanical geometric aesthetic that aligns with contemporary digital aesthetics.

By using Hexedit to edit the raw code of OTF font files, unexpected changes and transformations can occur in the typeface through code modifications. This is an attempt to explore the possibilities of fonts using various digital tools, starting from the source code that composes digital fonts rather than the typeface itself.

‘Brief’: This poster is a letter of a woman to her best friend. Fragments of the letter was translated in German, Spanish and Turkish. The original letter from 1993 is the one in handwriting written in Greek (Cypriot dialect).
‘Fedora’: This was a poster fro the movie ‘Fedora’. The sentences were taken from a scene where the heroin was writting her name on the window to remember who she was even though that was her fake identity. Thus, the letters are broken in pieces to resemble her inner state

For the Graduation Show in Hochschule Düsseldorf, animations were Projection mapped in the hallway. Students showcase insights and give perspectives into various aspects of student life through motion. Poster Design for the Projection Mapping course led by Kilian van de Water.

A poster designed for the artistic practice at Wenshi Yunlin focuses on conveying textual information with a powerful bold font. To match the theme, detailed adjustments were made. Inspired by the characters “问石云林” (Ask the Stone Cloud Forest), horizontal lines were added to the upper text to evoke clouds, and notches were made in the lower text to resemble holes in Taihu stones. These modifications align the text’s appearance with the theme.

Chinese Shanshui represents mountains and water.Green is the mountain, blue is the water, and the concept of handover of landscape is the “main theme” of the whole brand. The ups and downs of the lines represent the rise and fall of the moun- tains, and a set of brand visions that are flexible, not rigid, easy to operate, and rich in expansibility come from this.
