Fake it ’till you make it makes it real at the end. So be careful what you fake about.

This is the front page of a zine I made about my water bottle going through an acid trip. The hand lettering of the word welcome was my imitation of what I would imagine my water bottle sounds like high.

This poster was made for the “DESIGN IT! 2019 poster contest for the vision of the event: SWISS ART EXPO 2019 which was held from August 15th to 19th. With over 80,000 visitors daily, it is one of the most visited places in Switzerland. The composition is entirely made from the typographic sign “SWISSARTEXPO 2019 each letter is transformed into a 3D object functioning as multiple exhibition halls in which enormous crowds are moving and looking at art.

Unpredictability is connected to an explosion both directly and indirectly. “In explosive circumstances, the calculation of probabilities does not work, there is only chance, and the result is unpredictable,” Lotman explains. In his writings, unpredictability is primarily associated with culture.

Phototyper is a system that generates letterforms by filling typographical skeletons using different crops from an image. The typographical skeletons are originally drawn, representing the essential shape of each glyph.
Different textures can be used to fill and thus give shape to each typographic skeleton creating unique letters that can later be applied to various projects.

Harmonoglyphs are the product of a generative system that uses a genetic algorithm to evolve Lissajous curves that resemble letters and other glyphs. This project is the core of a practical tutorial for a course on Computational Creativity for Design, where master’s students are introduced to concepts of artificial intelligence, such as evolutionary algorithms, applied to the visual domain. The presented Harmonoglyphs were evolved by different people including students and lecturers of the Master’s degree in Design and Multimedia of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra, Portugal.

Typographic poster dedicated to 130 years Alexander Rodchenko – one of the most versatile constructivist and productivist artists.

Stanisław Lem was born on September 12, 1921, in Lviv, and died on March 27, 2006, in Cracow, Poland. 2021 is the 100th birthday (and 15th death) anniversary of the greatest Polish science fiction writer.

Stanisław Lem was a man of above-average intelligence and an exceptional visionary. In his books written back in the twentieth century, Lem predicted the emergence of many devices that function today, such as audiobooks and e-books. He also wrote extensively on various forms of intelligence, including machines as in the novel The Invincible (1964), and the intelligent ocean in the novel Solaris (1961).

This poster is dedicated to him.

I just tried to break my barrier to drawing type.

Uvas Display focuses on the interconnective play of letters (and numerals). In short – characters respond to one another, front and back. The interaction of the letters alter between overlapping, cutting, merging and skewing – generating an unpredictable flow when typed.

Optical sizes (Big, Medium, Small) allow for Uvas to be presentable at different scales, and the variable version foster even more flexibility for matching different sizes.

With “just” 900 lines of feature code, letters fuse together, becoming continuous ligatures.

Wow is a typeface with innovative elements to create a distinctive typographic style. The design is based on the synthesis of western calligraphy and develops the concepts of absolute and relative to create new languages in design, typography and visual arts. The corporeality of the characters from the horizontal axis and the alternate characters are the features that differentiate Wow, achieving a fluid and dynamic effect. These characteristics make it a versatile and flexible option.
Wow is based on the exploration of the variability of a constant to create new forms, which opens a dialogue on the inclusion of all the points of view of the same constant.

Type’o’Taped was an academic project that aimed to explore generative typography using analog processes and human participation.

Users acted as computers following an algorithm that would result in the generation of one output — a letter of the alphabet. They were not aware of anything about the project beforehand.

In short, the algorithm involved: a grid to help drawing the skeleton of each letter; a dice; 6 containers with stickers from different shape categories (arcs, polygons, triangles, etc).

The outcome was an experimental, flexible and fun alphabet developed by various designers and non-designers candidates.

< choose your reality > suggests the idea that we have some degree of control over our perception of the world and the experiences we have. It implies that we have the power to shape our reality by choosing how we think, feel, and act in response to the world around us.

when a music association wants a visual identity, the best approach is to go straight to the heart of the matter – in this case, music. this involved looking at how music is written down and translating that principle into a typeface. the diverse forms and symbols of different musical notation styles were used to develop a new system perfectly attuned to the subject in hand. job done. ta-da!

One modular grid – a hundred options. All these variations of the letter K I made using the same window grille as a modular grid.

There is no beginning or end. And?
Visual exploration of the ligature ampersand as a careless person.

Extended Ecologies is a one-year, joint programme between Medrar in Cairo and the Critical Media Lab (CML) in Basel that aims to create and reflect the ways that extended reality (XR) technologies can transform our relationship with physical environments, and so ourselves and other beings.

Hisha is a display font made at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design (Ljubljana, Slovenia) under mentorship of Prof. Domen Fras and Tch. Asst. Alja Herlah. It is a student work made as a proposal custom font for Švicarija gallery in Ljubljana. It was inspired by architecture and rich history of the building where the gallery is located. It is a modular font whose glyphs were made using only three shapes. Those shapes are either connected, separedated, flipped or rotaded by 90 degrees in order to form a glyph.

In this project, we developed the identity for the film festival Caminhos do Cinema Português. The visual identity had a large typographic component that sought to imitate the plasticity of the projection used in movie theatres. The text used in the posters was project in different types of materials and the modified composition was used to create the final posters, creating a very varied look in all the posters.
