A series of English typographic works themed around the geologic era.
These images will be included in HyperPension’s upcoming typebook, scheduled for publication in the second half of 2026.

A magazine devoted to the echidna, explores the charm of
this egg-laying mammal, so often overshadowed by the platypus.

“The Echidna Zine” is an independently published zine produced using a range of printing techniques, including manuscript reproduction, rubber stamp printing, and cyanotype.
It was first presented at the 2026 art book fair “Offcut Seoul.”

This work adopts the visual language of classic, industrial user interfaces found in infrared thermographic measurement tools.
To commemorate the studio’s third anniversary—reached through repeated trials and hardships—images of animals in combat were used.

Design studio HyperPension created a poster for the exhibition 《198X》, organized by Design History Society Of Korea.
The exhibition revisited the 1980s through the lens of creators born in the 1990s and later, especially in the section titled “Young Eyes, 198X.”

The work was produced as a large-scale banner (120 × 300 mm) and exhibited at DDP.

This is a typographic experiment combining the typeface Antonym with a range of color fragments.
The letterforms are overlaid with modular color elements that partially obscure and reconstruct their structure. Rather than functioning as a surface, the fragments act as independent units that interrupt, replace, and extend the forms.
This creates a shifting relationship between legibility and abstraction, where each word exists simultaneously as text and composition.

Index of Cat is part of the Flefixx project, focusing on the direct mutation of a single word. Starting from “cat,” each variation emerges through small shifts in letter combinations, accompanied by corresponding changes in the figure. The process ignores linguistic logic and instead follows simple, incremental transformations, where text and image evolve together through continuous modification.

Thermography is a graphic design zine that draws on the visual language of infrared thermal imaging.
Just as infrared light exists beyond the visible spectrum, the work conveys that those who support you are always present, even if they are not seen.
An independently published zine composed of a fluorescent-printed poster and fragments of text, it was first presented at the art book fair “Unlimited Edition” in 2025

Map of Cat is part of the Flefixx project, a typographic experiment based on rule-less transformations of letterforms.
Starting from the word “cat,” the composition expands through a series of visually connected variations. Rather than following etymology, the words are linked purely through letter combinations. Each branch develops by adding, removing, or shifting characters, forming chains of incidental connections.

Junction: Common ancestor adopts the visual grammar of road signage found across Korea.
The work was produced by a manufacturer of official Korean traffic signs, using aluminum and high-intensity reflective sheeting.
It was first presented at HyperPension’s first solo exhibition, “Planet,” and has since been exhibited multiple times, including at the K Museum of Contemporary Art.

By introducing wordplay into the everyday sign graphics found throughout Korean cities, this zine presents a witty, encouraging visual language for urban dwellers.

Where does our affection for, and longing toward, the sun arise from?
Is it an unconscious reverence for the primary source of planetary energy?
Or an ancient loyalty inherent to us as organic beings?

“Anthem to the Sun” is an offering to the sun, made from the perspective of an earthbound animal.
It is an independently published zine composed of a poster and fragments of text, first presented at the 2025 art book fair “Unlimited Edition.”

A poster series featuring four literary authors, produced using fluorescent printing. First presented at the Unlimited Edition art book fair in Seoul in 2025.

FRONT KIT developed the verbal and visual identity of “2022 Dear Seohaean.” Seohaean, the west sea shore of the Korean Peninsula, has one of the world’s most significant tidal flat ecosystems — a UNESCO World Heritage site. The title contributed to building emotional connections that motivate people to protect the sea and its marine life. The main graphic was created by pixelating the coastline, translating its sea, mud flats, and land into a vivid color system with variations.

Polish fine art photographer Marcin Ryczek gained international recognition when his work “A Man Feeding Swans in the Snow” went viral in 2013. FRONT KIT developed the identity, key visuals, and spatial design for his first exhibition in Korea — drawing on the Korean aesthetic of ‘yeobek’, the beauty of empty space. FRONT KIT created unique typography inspired by the photographs and used a dividing line — symbolizing coexistence, contrast, and harmony — as a central motif throughout the design.

Deodeok, a root vegetable found across East Asia, is only used as food in Korea. “Deodeokmong” was created to promote its diverse potential. FRONT KIT developed the naming, logo, graphic, and space design. The logo was derived from the silhouette of bundled deodeok roots, transforming their organic form into a bold graphic symbol. Through this branding, Deodeokmong has been selected as a Korean Souvenir and received a ministerial award, establishing itself as a representative Korean brand.

Intense Difference of Its Own was an exhibition commemorating the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Korea and Canada. The exhibition explored the world of artworks by disabled artists from both countries. FRONT KIT developed the main graphic by intersecting and overlapping different shapes — each representing the distinct perspectives of the artists, coming together as one unified form. This graphic was applied throughout the posters, invitations, and spaces as an integrated visual.

FRONT KIT Blue Dragon Card is designed to carry wishes of happiness and success. In ancient Korea, ‘blue’ meant ‘birth of life’ and ‘east’ meant the ‘source of light’, and the blue dragon was considered the guardian of the east and the symbol of good fortune. This card carries encouragement, gratitude, and greetings for the various moments in our lives — holding gifts of money or cards within the dragon’s form. A red hologram adds contrast in color and texture, while the envelope features silver

What represents our time is not numbers, but the pieces of life we create. Therefore, FRONT KIT Block Calendar is made of a non-linear arrangement of 12 blocks. These blocks are not about seasons, holidays, or deadlines, but rather the moments we will shape. Instead of following a series of time periods, let’s enjoy the year as accumulated pieces of life. FRONT KIT hopes that your calendar will be filled with meaningful pieces of life.

SEEDULE overlays organic cross-sectional imagery of fruit onto the structural logic of the calendar—a system designed to manage and regiment time—translating functional order into sensory experience. Within a single frame, the regimented grid of dates collides with the entangled interior of seed and flesh—reconstructing the familiar architecture of time as an estranged visual order.
