VOLIA (ВОЛЯ)

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.

TypeFace Cover

I created this bandana as a way to stay optimistic about the future. We were living in a time where masks were essential to everyday life. But I was hopeful there would be a future when we would not need them. This bandana was designed to have a life beyond the pandemic and could be worn over your face, around your neck, on your head or simply displayed as art on the wall.

Recognizing the falling off of genuine kindness in today’s world, Fight for Kindness is a global initiative calling upon the design community to harness the power of typography to promote the values of kindness. This project converges art and empathy to illuminate kindness, peace, trust, inclusiveness, and ethical integrity.

In its third edition of the non-profit Fight for Kindness campaign, TypeCampus urges any kind of visual designer to use typography to promote kindness values globally. Recognized for its impact, this award-winning initiative promotes typographical messages to inspire concrete forms of kindness. Sponsored by the Italian type foundry Zetafonts and with the support of the co-partners Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini, Francesco Canovaro and the TypeCampus team, Debora Manetti carries out this project alongside the talented designer Shrishti Vajpai, struggling every day with the time zone between Florence and New Delhi.

The success of this campaign is further attributed to the enthusiasm of the design community and thanks to the invaluable support of notable partners including Type Directors Club, C2Awards, Communication Arts, Indigo Awards, Typeroom, People of Print, Farmani Group, Hadath Alkhatt, the European Art Directors Club (now part of The One Club) and many more.

TypeCampus annually promotes a multi-location exhibition of selected posters to celebrate World Kindness Day in early November. The complete contributor’s catalog will be released in early 2025.

DRP poster festival

DRP is a festival that celebrates urban culture and takes place in Paris. For this occasion, they ask Marc Armand to create the poster for the event. He decides to pay tribute to urban fashion and draws inspiration from the iconic fabrics and materials that compose it (jacquard, puffer jacket, all-over monogram), and creates various DRP logos. Laura Le Gal then develops these logos both as motifs and patterns on different materials to create a sort of clothing market heap.

Letterchain

Emerging out of a font designed especially for MIGLĖ by the Berlin-based graphic studio Hanzer Liccini, Letterchain is a collection which fuses jewellery with typography: a classic curb chain metamorphosizes into letters and symbols to form names and words.
Available in silver and gold, three customizable jewellery pieces – necklace, bracelet and earring – come with the dowloadable Letterchain font, combining the digital and the analog.

Rizo Masr

Rizo Masr is a risograph printing service based in Cairo. 40MUSTAQEL was tasked with the visual identity and branding for the studio. The name, translating to “Rizo Egypt”, draws from the typical style of company names in Nasserist Egypt and the nationalization of foreign companies at the time, adjacent to the introduction of the risograph printing technology in Japan. The typography is inspired by the style prevalent in cinema posters and tv title cards during that era.
