Out.fest is an Exploratory Music Festival that takes place in the city of Barreiro. This year’s edition is based on typographic exploration inspired by shapes linked to the culture of the city railways that have existed since 1857. On a visit to the railways workshops, I found panels with joints from locomotive engines, panels rich in shapes, or interior covering foams, textures, etc. That served to create an visual language for the Festival that is based on the exploration of sound.

Vinyl edition by artists who recorded music on magnetic tape under the Iron Curtain between 1979 and 1990. The typographic work for the vinyl artwork was done manually with magnetic tape from old cassettes, cut, shaped and glued to make the letters, which were then photographed and assembled in photoshop.
The process and aesthetics of this artwork reflect the magnetic origin of the recording and the DIY resilience of these artists in their editions.

Title for an exhibition at Works/San José, an experimental community art space, depicting the stresses on ecosystems. Fresh (green) and dried dead leaves are arranged to mimic Akzidenz Grotesk.

Type illustration for an exhibition at Works/San José, and experimental community art space. The exhibit explored relationships between the natural world and humans. The type—human made—is melding with and dissolving into natural forms.

Mycographiæ proposes typography as living beings through a bio-printing process with biological inks made of molds and yeasts. Like micro-fungi that permeate the layers of life, new forms of symbiotic writings come to life to redefine the experience of an image/letter: a letter that’s now cultivated.
In this act, the fungus no longer reproduces a sign; it digests its form, seizing it to redefine its structure and vitality : the sign gradually gains an organic autonomy that escapes the designer.

Exploration of the anatomy and bones of typography, and the universe of hidden structures and haptics that emerges when teasing typography.

Sound waves enable us to speak. When we read, we perceive letters visually, and the brain processes this information, instructing the vocal cords to send a pulse using a scanner and speaker. For example, vibrations can occur at frequencies like 16.35 Hz and 32.70 Hz. Sound waves allow the air vibrations caused by a letter to be detected by our eardrum. My experiment explores how letters would appear if sound waves were projected onto them, conducted in a home environment.

A real poster for a hypothetical movie scenario written by Efthimis Fillipou, designed during a real workshop organized by Vasilis Marmatakis. The custom lettering and cross-like form are inspired by the quirks and details of the Byzantine alphabet, intermixed with the simple shapes of Akzidenz-Grotesk. It was heretically produced by embracing the grotesque accidents of the printing method when combined with the selected heavily textured semi-transparent, cream-colored, Italian paper.

Catalogue about Maria Sanmartí, a mid-20th century painter. Mother of the painter Antoni Clavé, she was highly recognized in Europe and in our country, but was absurdly forgotten. In this project, we have created a dialogue between her work and tipography.

“Spectral Reverbs” is an experimental font that captures the ethereal interplay of light and darkness. Inspired by the concept of ghostly echoes and lasting impressions, it embodies the reverberations of emotions, memories, and stories that linger long after the initial experience. The font’s fluid forms and contrasting elements evoke a wide spectrum of sentiments, resonating with depth and leaving a profound impact, much like the reverberations of a haunting melody.

TheeoTypeface and TheeoSymbols are integral to the brand identity of Theeo, a change design firm and consultancy based in Brooklyn.

The font seamlessly extends the unique logo design, offering glyphs and characters ideal for product design and text initials.

The visual language is further enriched with symbols, colors, and AI-generated artwork and animations to be used on https://theeo.co/ | https://www.instagram.com/theeo.co | https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-eo-company
