UNKNOWN
UNKNOWN is a contemporary display typeface. It consists of three styles: RND, PX and MX. Additional alternates can easily be adapted using upper- or lowercase characters. Although the roots of the typeface are derived from a linear grid-system, the overall appearance is still organic through the variation of the individual characters. A vast set of glyphs makes it ideal for designing artworks, magazines and logos. In cooperation with Alexander Raffl.
Safferling Session
The Safferling Sessions were a series of back-to-back DJ Sessions live via twitch from a Munich living room in the Safferling Street. All Sessions were performed by DJs of the Feta Records Crew.
This poster was part of the promotion for the first session (which is still online on Feta Records Youtube account). The design idea behind this poster, was to create non-existing ligatures. The main one, the two capital S, became the logo of the series. It contains some more funny ligatures, like one combining an “n” with an “s”, a “z” with an “l” or and “R” with an Ampersand. The type was then rebuild in 3D and rendered with a glass-like material, to gave it this kind of an emerald look.
HOPE
HOPE is inspired by Psalm 23. It is a computational typography using Binary Tree Algorithm, Geomerative Library of Processing with a seed font, Avenir Next UltraLight. It also expresses the meaning of Perseverance which is continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition .
continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition : the action or condition or an instance of persevering : steadfastness.
Neubad Klubnacht: orangebleu, Coco Fresco, Pablo Beltran
A club night full of twists and surprises – always discoid and encouraging you to dance. When an event is described like this, the poster must of course already encourage you to dance! That makes sense!
In collaboration with Sirkka Ammann.
Amalgam Journal #1 #2 #3
Amalgam is an occasional journal that explores the intersection of typography, language, and power. It traces contemporary discourses around typographic manifestations of multiplicity, hybridity, intersectionality, and identity. It brings together a group of BIPOC, queer, feminist, immigrant artists and designers thinking together across disciplinary boundaries about the mutability of language, the instability of communication, and the prospects for equitable futures.
Strange Flower, Anonymous Activities
The idea was to elaborate a publication which format simulates the anonymous nature
of an editor´s work. The challenge was to use graphic resources that can show the
dynamic concealment/disclosure. The accordion paper folding hides the unedited version of the interview. Only if you tear the paper you can read what it is inside. Both, questions and answers, have the same type treatment, in that way the author of the interview is not an author anymore, it loses singularity, it becomes anonymous.The face of the interviewed is hidden between the pages as well as the credits of the publication. Seen in an aereal perspective, the pages creates a colorful flower. A strange flower.
Big Data Exhibition Poster
This is a 3D poster created for the “Telling Stories: Big Data” exhibition, which will take place in Moscow in June 2023. The poster features a custom typeface and its design reflects the exhibition’s theme, dedicated to artists’ relationship with the use, analysis, and visualization of data in the modern world. The color scheme and geometric shapes on the poster symbolize the complexity of information flow. This poster captures attention and invites viewers to immerse themselves in the creative world of big data.

Konsequenz Typeface
Konsequenz is a typeface that mixes blackletter handwriting techniques with grotesque letter shapes. The initial design process started on paper with a 15 mm flat tip pen and a 3 mm broad nib pen. After experimenting with the tools, the first design was created, from which Konsequenz was later derived.
The round shapes of the grotesque typeface are broken up in order to emphasize the interrupted character of a blackletter script. Some curves remain and add small accents to the typeface. More classic letter variants have been added to the character set. To stand out from blackletter script, the capitals are mainly based on sans serif letter shapes.
Felsen Typeface
The typeface “Felsen” incorporates a decaying unbalanced character that takes advantage of generative methods of type design using the Python programming language and the RoboFont type design program. In particular, room was given to the possibilities of generated randomness to create a slightly different typeface each time the font is exported: stroke weights change within the module-based characters, spacing and spaces become large or small.
The first draft of the font in 2014 was solely used by myself. In May 2023 the font will be publicly available as “Felsen Typeface” and includes majuscules, minuscules as well as three weights.
“Gemeinsam Gegen Nazis”
This poster was created during an open call for entries that say that we are against fascism and that we are stronger if we work together. The typography of this poster is hardly readable from a distance, so an approach is necessary to pick up the text.
The headline is formed by dots representing a group of people. In addition, the large punctuation marks translate the statements of the headlines into an abstract, pictorial form.
“Fraser Muggeridge London” Lecture Poster
This poster was created in collaboration with Marvin Glosch and is for a lecture by Fraser Muggeridge. The text in the background is a copy of the website of “Fraser Muggeridge Studio” and shows projects, clients and categories sorted by alphabet. As a contrast, the plain text is complemented with handwriting painted with wax crayons.
“Pyrolator” Lecture Poster
The poster was created for a lecture for Kurt “Pyrolator” Dahlke at the Peter Behrens School of Arts and is inspired by the music of him and plays with its rhythms and breaks in these very rhythms. In addition, the visual language of the old cover images of his albums is taken up with the abstract form in the background which was created by Paul Daubenspeck. Kurt “Pyrolator” Dahlke is a legendary Düsseldorf musician and member of bands like “Der Plan” and “Fehlfarben”.
Grandma Museum
The book documents my conversations with my grandmother and compiles our memories of everyday objects into a memory archive. Through her oral history, I delved into the cultural context of bygone eras and gained insight into slices of her past and use her memories as evidence to understand the value of the lives of ordinary Taiwanese people, as well as our own cultural identity and origin.
I interpreted my abstract feelings about memories into a visual design through the use of translucent papers, typography, and screen printing graphics. it conveys my personal experiences to inspire readers to explore their own memories and understand the importance of culture and identity.
DIVERSE LETTERING
Diverse breath. This is an animated collection inspired by the Diverse 3D Type philosophy, created to represent our humanity, different approaches or points of view are the key to understanding what we need in this chaos, pandemic and selfish wars that we live.
Diverse Balloons: At this time, the balloons jump to two different stages creating friction with each other.
Diverse Stretched: On this occasion, Diverse plastic letters inflate and deflate, stretching until they fall to the floor. It is an optimism of human society, everything plastic must fall.

which appears on buildings, street signs, lighting, graffiti, crafts and old books in Cairo, Egypt. The booklet consists of 20 pages, with a centerfold poster. The poster describes a design talk being held in Al-Azhar University about the topic in detail, with calligraphy workshops.
WORK BOOK
Publication about the experiences in the Chilean territory of the students of the Faculty of Architecture of the Universidad del Desarrollo.
The book is inspired by what in Chile is known as Work Book or Manifold. It is a personal document that registers the process, handled individually by each architect. Book of Work used by architects everywhere. This book is intentionally full of errors and graphical accidents. The cover was worked manually, with a bas-relief to cause mismatches that made each unit different.
Urpflanze. Metamorphosis of Plants
The book is based on the concept of the Urpflanze, Goethe’s imaginary primordial plant, the origin of all plant forms. The focus is on the unfolding formation of the repeating structures and patterns of the plant kingdom, observing the morphology of plants, and the systematic patterns of nature. The new patterns, like the Urpflanze, carry the trace of the steps of the pattern’s formation – the pattern’s unfolding can be traced throughout the sequence, revealing the steps of its metamorphosis all at once. These were collected in a booklet, the form of which is reminiscent of a plant: the cover is the spine, the stem, from which two tendrils can be unfolded, with branched particles at the end.
Noema in the Mirror – Visual and Dialogical Self-Reflection
“Noema in the Mirror – Visual and Dialogical Self-Reflection” is my bachelor’s project, in which I spent four months exploring feelings, fears, and memories that I usually repress. To evoke them, I started with intuitive drawing and meditation. To further discover and process them, I conducted interviews with different marginalized women, and we shared our experiences. We found that our experiences were often similar due to the persisting patriarchal society we live in. I reflected on the different topics and ideas further in essays and illustrations, which were drawn by hand and then composed digitally. All the illustrations, essays, and interviews were collected in a hand-bound book.
