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 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.

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.

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.

I tried to visually recreate Beak> quirkiness approach to Krautrock music.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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”.

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.

Specimen Poster for the PF Cicada Typeface. The typeface was created by experimenting with origami. Creases in the paper created through folding became the grid on which the letterforms are built. Petal Fold Cicada is the name of the origami figure used in the experiments.

What good advice should you give young designers and architectsto take home with them on their journey through life? Beyond the ubiquitous cultural pessimism, all potential wisdom can be found somewhere within the information garbage of our civilization. Semiotic fragments and constellations that can be combined and reassembled in many different ways. You can even find happiness. But where do you start? Where to look?

The inspiration for the Werkschau design in winter 22/23 is Marjory, the ‘all-knowing, all-seeing Trash Heap’from the 80s children’s series ‘The Fraggles’. Marjory – a living compost heap with magical abilities and alternate genders – serves as an oracle to the Fraggles.

For a book cover for an artist with deconstructive artworks I drew a constructed font and separated it into three layers. In Indesign I was able to move the layers individually to create a deconstructive effect, from “still readable” to “totally abstract”.

The photographer Michael Philipp Bader contacted Cihan Tamti for this poster series. The photographer had taken pictures of the German team at the sports event. The poster series is experimental and chaotic, meant to convey the overwhelming feeling of multiple competitions happening at the same time and the emotions associated with athletes.
