KD26 A is a handmade kimono, designed and created by fashion designer Korinna van Balkom and graphic designer Daan Rietbergen. A unique, typographic artwork made from a upcycled 100% wool blanket in which the lowercase letter ‘a’ is integrated. Accompanied by a grid, the shape of the letter moves repetitively from right to left. This makes the structured shape dynamic. The grid and movement are integrated into the kimono by using an enlarged and self-developed ‘tufting technique’.

Pedro is a typeface designed in 2022. It has a kind and including spirit and with their solidarity shirt Büro Gestalten wanted to express all of Pedro’s formal and principal character.

The NIKE is from the name of goddess of victory in Greek myth. Every single piece represents the spirit of winning. But, how we can declare the victory without love? This poster series conveys the message above. The people could also see the today’s circumstance where the growing brutal nationalism makes people hard to read or aware the meaning of love from the poster.

The continuous experimentation in the field of letterpress printing has led 5X’s formal typographic research onto a new medium, namely, fabric. It’s an entirely unusual print material for a letterpress printing machine. Thus emerges a hand-printed shirt, subsequently sewn to be worn and dressed. Not confining itself to the typical two-dimensionality of paper, here the enlarged, fragmented letters and numbers explode and, following the shape of the body, become abstract images/patterns.

Custom lettering for the Berlin-based electronic music label Stil vor Talent (SVT). The experimental typography presents itself like a pattern on the scarf. With dimensions of 155×18 cm and colors in white and black, it is a limited edition that emphasizes the uniqueness and exclusivity of the SVT universe.

This series explores the limitless boundaries of fashion and how it’s a blank canvas for typography.

Rearranging existing things can create new perspectives and interesting compositions.

For this project, I scanned packaging, tickets and other things that would normally be
thrown away to carve out details that I turned into new designs for posters using overlays
and tools in Photoshop.

I once again chose interesting
sections from the resulting compositions
to design a scarf. This project shows
that new products can be created from
disposable items. All you have to do is (re)arrange.

Bufferzone is an upcycling studio based in Porto. The tote bag features its typographic identity.

I’ve decided to create merch for our small team in design studio, but do it in a different way. Everyone fed up with typical corporate items which promotes only the company. I’ve come up with idea to tell the story about each of us with custom phrases which based on feelings, routine, phrases of my teammates. The fonts also telling about character of each member, and the logo of our bureau on the back.

This metamorphosis of a recycled second-hand blazer into a two-piece outfit is intended to encourage self-reflection. Its message – to take responsibility for our environment, particularly in relation to wildfires. The text on the back of the top is a reminder – we must be
aware of the impact of our actions; the text on the front of the skirt gives advice on how to reduce wildfires, highlighting methods for improvement. The clothes incorporate burnt areas to draw attention to the theme.

“生生不息 생생불식（Saengsaengbulsig）” means to grow and multiply. In the context of a bilingual environment, we wanted to connect Korean and Chinese in the font structure. In the visual design process of this event, we want to take the font design of Chinese and Korean characters as the starting point. And around the structure of the font to build the entire visual system of the event. The systematization extends to every form of the visual, which corresponds to the concept of “Saengsaengbulsig”.

In a design and coding studio, the keyboard is the item our hands are in contact with the most during the course of a working day. It’s the interface through which our work gets done. In order to contribute to this undervalued object, we have created the weholo keyboard scarf. Keyboard on one side, circuit diagram and lettering on the other. It comes in two colorways and is available via instagram pm.

When you look at this poster, you are a free bird that flies over a free Ukraine. You can see steppes, mountains, and rivers. You can fly very high or go down and almost touch the ground. You can speed up so the image below will blur or slow down and hover above the ground, examining all the tiny details.

This poster is a flight of your imagination that can last as long as you want.
