These lines, symbolize the interconnectedness of art and design, the collaborative spirit of the festival, and the web of creativity that binds them all. As viewers engage with the design, a subtle element emerges – the words “ArtPulse Festival” are hidden within the lines. This method encourages active participation, inviting viewers to delve deeper and uncover hidden meaning, much like they explore the depths of art at the festival itself.
NaN Tresor
In life (and in font design), we are confronted with a choice our survival depends on. NaN Tresor’s designer, Christoph Koeberlin, for his own survival, made the innovative decision to make no final decision at all. Instead, he offers an anachronous revival, side-stepping natural selection (sorry, Darwin! You snooze, you lose!), where every possible glyph variation flourishes in one font.

Visual identity for the 11th edition of the LGBTQIA+ community festival “Równe Prawa do Miłości” (Equal Rights for Love) held in 2017 in Warsaw, PL.

Artificial Type Design
Artificial Type Design explores the possibilities and impacts of AI in typography. Will algorithms soon take over the work of creative professionals? Can machines generate new creative ideas? Where are the boundaries between AI and human creativity?
A collection of 22 AI-generated fonts provides insight into the vast field of typographic possibilities with AI.
Training custom LoRA models with Stable Diffusion enables diverse fonts and future design innovations.
suffering
I`m attaching a poster on which I show my sharp font, which I tried to convey the pain, anger and rage that every person in my country feels. I wanted to convey thinner letters with a wider shape and sharp corners. Between the letters you can read the name of my country, to which this poster is dedicated
explode Font
The font conveys the idea of fireworks. Just like fireworks that spread out from a central point and become more detailed as they expand, my font is designed to provide an experience that requires patience and perseverance from the viewer. As you watch the graphical forms, you will discover the information hidden within, all while being entertained by the visual spectacle.
Unruly Script
This font was created with a self-made tool.
Take an unbalanced motor // Glue it to the cap of a spray can // Tape some markers to it //
Attach four strings to control the device // Find a partner to operate the device together // Power it
Slusalke Typeface
Slusalke is one of four experimental typefaces that were created with typographic apparatuses. Typographic apparatuses are experimental objects with movable parts that serve as a template for the design of typographic characters. Each apparatus was based on an everyday object, this one being headphones. These typefaces are concerned with the question of legibility in an alphabet that is not based on existing scripts.
Chelas nha Kau
Chelas nha Kau, means: Chelas my place. The entire visual identity for the film, communication supports and title design was taken from Chelas architecture, from the walls of the people who inhabit the neighborhood. Raw material to design letters, ornaments and illustration, and build a sense of belonging
Letras com óculos
Typeface made with collages of pieces of glasses created in Ai. The poem composed with drawn letters is part of a poster by Poets & Painters.
OUT.FEST 24
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.
Magnetizdat DDR – Eastgerman tape underground 1979-1990
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.
