Allure Running Club explores the visual language of running through typography, movement and repetition. Designed by Marie Chevalier, the identity turns pace, routes, race data and collective motion into graphic matter. Custom lettering and running figures form a flexible system that moves across posters, apparel and digital formats, reflecting a community where running becomes less about performance than moving forward together.

Fuoricampo is a display typeface rooted in Italian football and ultras culture. It explores the typography born inside the stadium, where lettering is made by supporters, not trained designers. Built on Italian-style forms (high contrast, high waist, thick-thin transitions), it reworks banner proportions into extreme display shapes, uses letter intersections to create a rhythm inspired by collective movement, and turns calligraphic speed into dynamism.

For the visual identity and spatial communication of QUEST Club, buero x-height uses Dinamo’s Gravity Variable to translate physical qualities into graphic expression.
MOMENTUM, AGILITY, POWER + SPEED — ENJOY.
Type expands, contracts, stretches and shifts in intensity. Moving from identity into space, typography becomes part of the architecture—turning movement, energy and rhythm into a flexible visual system.

Cycling is not only about speed. It is about everything in between: headwind and slipstream, cadence and repetition, acceleration and flow.

The visual identity of Shades of Speed translates this experience into a typographic system. Using Suisse Int’l by Swiss Typefaces, repetition, scale and movement create a rhythm that echoes cycling itself.

Shades of Speed turns cadence into composition and movement into type.

During the summer semester 2024 I explored outdoor swimming pools and developed a visual identity inspired by water wings, warning labels and safety markings. The ‘Pommes und Chlor’ poster plays with the contrast between carefree summer nostalgia and the flood of rules, signs and safety regulations surrounding public pools. Printed in vibrant neon red using offset printing, the design combines playful typography with the visual language of safety instructions.

Faster, Higher, Stronger.

Faster, Higher, Stronger.

FC Petržalka Women rewrites club heritage through type. Engerau—the historic German name of Bratislava’s Petržalka borough and a long-standing club nickname—remains, but its voice changes. Blackletter meets oversized condensed grotesk, brush lettering and unapologetic pink. Letterforms stretch and flex across the identity, pushing heritage into rebellion. Pink becomes force, while type turns tradition into attitude. Built for a new generation of women footballers shaping the sport right now.

A font with 603 KMH—top speed on the world’s fastest train—Transrapid

The variable typeface Trans Rapid is designed from 2026 for the font foundry Typo Graphic Design by the type designer Manuel Viergutz.

This variable display font visualizes speed. Rapid top speeds inspired by the world record set by the maglev train.

5 Styles/Speeds (50 KMH + 100 KMH + 200 KMH + 300 KMH + 603 KMH), 489 glyhs for 73 languages + 24 OpenType features incl. decorative extras!

Seoul Marathon 2019 reimagines the visual language of a historic Korean marathon through a minimal graphic system. Moving away from familiar photographic expressions of speed and impact, the identity begins with a single line—the simplest element that can represent a running route. The line grows into roads, landmarks, and cities, forming a consistent visual language across Seoul, Gongju, and Gyeongju and uniting the three races as one running journey.

Petanca is a history-rich sport that is celebrated by many people around the world whilst being an inclusive, easy-to-learn sport that knows no gender, age, or social status. However, with a declining player base, its future is at risk. Many young people view it as a pastime for older generations and a relic of the past. Heroes of Petanca aims to change this perception by bringing a fresh and exciting new take on the sport to restore its former appeal and ensure its preservation.

In billiards, the eight ball is the one that ends the game. It cannot be rushed and it cannot be skipped: it waits until every easier shot is gone, then asks for a clean angle under full pressure. The poster reads that last ball as an image of any practice built on precision — the risk of the decisive move, the composure it demands, and the pull to rack them up and play again. Design works the same way: a break, a run of collisions, and one final pocket.

METABOLIZING TIME AND SPACE examines St. Andrew’s Playground as a living environment shaped by time, movement, and interaction. Yura Kang translates its rhythms into a tactile documentary zine, combining photography with a speculative 3D model made from wood dust. Through accumulation, compression, and transformation, the work explores how a site’s energy can be documented, metabolized, and re-formed through material and time.

NO FINISH LINE explores the underrepresentation of FLINTA* athletes in the media and aims to increase their visibility by bringing their stories together. Developed as the practical component of a bachelor’s thesis, the publication celebrates FLINTA* athletes across a diverse range of sports. The visual concept uses shoelaces to symbolize movement, progress and equality in sport. Dynamic typography, including New Edge 666 by Charlotte Rhode, combines athletic energy with feminist values.

Off Route is a collection of drawings, graphic experiments, and visual notes. This volume features drawings and illustrations inspired by bike rides, outdoor hangs, wrong turns, side quests, and random adventures.

FUCHEBOL is a display type family inspired by global football ephemera, retro jerseys, iconic players, and the sport’s cultural moments. From watching El Clásico on TV to the first women’s professional game I attended to the Ronaldinho poster I preserved as a kid — FUCHEBOL became the embodiment of those influences. The ever-changing visual language I’ve experienced as a lifelong football player informed the design.

Off Route is a collection of drawings, graphic experiments, and visual notes. In Volume 2, we explore “cycle” in cycling and in life: seasons, habits, healing, and reinvention, returning us to familiar places with new eyes. The wheel becomes a metaphor for loops, spirals, and restarts, where wrong turns help shape meaning.

The intense focus of high-performing athletes during their training. By narrowing their attention an athlete can run faster, raise their heart rate, and perform better. I wanted to capture the physical and psychological intensity of this state, the moment when vision begins to blur, the image starts to fall apart, sweat burns the skin and yet the body continues to push forward.

Unbeatable defense, zero agility, and total space blockage. By giving these trash containers jersey numbers, they form a new basketball team. This typographic intervention reclaims public space, and gives the waste bins a clear tactical position on the court.

BEND is an indoor calisthenics and gymnastics center in Rhodes, Greece. Its visual identity explores the relationship between movement and control. The visual approach is built on a structured typographic system, using precise proportions and curves to express the tension between freedom and structure. Inspired by the meaning of “BEND”, the identity reflects a process where effort and pressure lead to control, balance and precision. Bending is the means. Perfection is the goal.

For more than a decade, Martin Schmidt has documented and shaped the visual culture of Schleudergang, a Nuremberg cycling collective turned association. Jerseys, shirts, posters and motion pieces form an evolving visual archive shaped by humor, experimentation and a desire to resist cycling’s prevailing aesthetics. Or, in the group’s own words: “Die stabilste Radsportgruppe Europas!”

Blackbird is a unique bike shop in Bielsko-Biała, specialising in custom-built enduro and downhill bikes. The project is a lettering system inspired by handwriting, created for a glass neon sign, with applications across other materials. Drawing from bike-frame geometry, the dynamics of downhill riding, the mountain setting near local trails and the shop’s character, it reflects the bespoke nature of each bike while balancing expressive forms with the structure required by neon production.

The project explores baseball through a layered visual composition that reflects the complexity hidden within the sport. The designer wanted to convey how any sport may seem simple at first glance, yet the longer one observes it, the more details, rules, strategies, and relationships become visible and understandable. Through overlapping imagery, typography, and subtle textures, the work invites the viewer to look closer and discover these layers.

Inspired by my experience with working out, in this project I decided to translate the structure of muscle tissue into typography. The web of muscle fibers bundled together is able to exert immense force while also forming an interesting visual pattern. In these experiments, I reflected this pattern by warping type into a similar rhythm of parallel, organic lines. The specific shapes and intricacies of the letters create a level of detail not unlike the tissue the work draws from.
