(I have submitted multiple examples of my work including the Bird Dimension set and others, hope this is ok— if not please use one of the examples).

When creating typography I like to experiment with different materials and methods, and see what emerges from the personality of particular combinations. The Bird Dimension was created while trying to experiment with simple shapes, using only black and white, and exploring a particular mysterious/philosophical narrative.

Silvia Matias mission as a creative designer is to explore the process, and to contribute with a purpose, using the “power of design” to communicate a strong message.

Two custom typefaces, M XX Display and Text, for The Museum of the 20th Century Remembrance in Prague to represent the dis/integrating aspects of both memory and society.

“Chemical” is Post Malone’s first release of 2023. The song is about an on-off relationship that he couldn’t let go of and how life isn’t the same without her. In the song, he reminisces about his time with her.
I decided to go purely typographic, creating a sort of “flow” that makes connections between the then and now, and the negative and positive. An eventful time, represented by disrupted letters and gaps.

I chose two books that I loved as a child and have influenced me a lot. “The Brothers Lionheart” and “Mio, my Son” written by the great Astrid Lindgren. Both books are about little boys who are searching for love, peace, freedom. This search I have represented by the arrows, which are directional and also indicate the reading direction/direction of view for the reader. The designs are kept simple and wrap very colorful stories full of adventure and wisdom.

This is a project what anyone can create a small architectural object by combining the alphabet parts of HOUSE, CHURCH, and FACTORY etc.
They are between objects and typography.
They are both objects and typography.

Papertype is a paper-made movable type for letterpress printing. It is easy to produce and light to carry precisely because it is paper. The unevenness of the printed typeface gives it a characteristic that brings out the feel of the printed surface. Working together with a furniture dealer and a portable printing press, it was possible to bring to people not just a letterpress machine and character design, but the experience of printing and typography as well.

OCR FA CTU no. 1 is a digitization and interpretation of one of the least known IBM Selectric 10-pitch typewriter fonts (Printing and Publishing no. 2) in which no descenders exist. It is a nice visual feature but also a practical one allowing written languages with accents to use tighter leading.

In one of the first sketches, I applied the boxy technical character in all letters, resulting in an (f)rigid appearance. The technical barrel-shaped details are softened with the almost handwritten feel of some of the most used letters (a, e, s, r).

This eclectic monospace font is used throughout the yearbook of the Faculty of Architecture at the Czech Technical University 2021–22.

Object Mode is a group exhibition by students of the Electronic Media Department of HfG Offenbach at TOR Art Space in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The exhibition features moving images and objects in the form of spatial installations and video sculptures, and poses questions of intermedial and interpersonal entanglements.

The poster series takes up the movement of the animation, in which elements distort in a block-like or object-like manner.

The Set Up is a group event with sound, performances and dance – also by students of the Electronic Media Department at HfG Offenbach. It takes place at Studio Naxos and accompanies the exhibition Object Mode.

Letterfrack is a village in the west of Ireland with a magnificent view, no matter the perspective. So, I decided to create letters that could be read from different points of view. I started with tiny blocks of wood, which soon grew to 1.2m tall letters, and spread them around the village.

This project started as an experimental research project to investigate the possibility of implementing 3D printing in typography to enable new typographic experiences using emerging technology. 3D printed text amplified visual and physical interactions. Digital fabrication techniques play a crucial role in turning intangible ideas into tangible design products, and also become an agent to build a strong connection between analog and digital environments. A series of posters are made for a presentation.

Since the launch of the first iPhone in 2007, our haptic world has been dominated by uniform, smooth touchscreens. However, a digital code cannot be physically touched, making it inherently difficult to interact with.
As the design process also increasingly takes place on computers, detached from physical materials, many products suffer from poorly designed tactility. As designers, however, it is our responsibility to consciously design tactile experiences, especially in these digital times.

The German title “Begreifen und berührend” could be translated to “Grasping and Touching” and highlights the multifaceted aspects of tactility in design.

Poster for – fonts and faces – a year symposium about typography.

Accidental font designed on a grid. The chaotic arrangement of the links shows the complexity and intricacy of the structure of the entire functional integrity of the world and the creatures inhabiting it, while having a clear structure, the system of which absolutely everything consists, be it the brain or the human body, the universe, and so on. Everything is interconnected, each of us is a link in the vast universe and we are all connected. We are all part of a single whole.
The posters show the Russian and English alphabets and examples of its scaling

i cut the letters out of paper for the poster – i assembled more letters from the leftover paper, which i thought was more creative – and used them in the poster

This work is inspired by Japanese characters, based on which a flat brush and black ink were chosen, similar to how it was done in Japan. The combination of lines of different pressure creates a feeling of free movement. I did not limit myself to the traditional standards of writing “Cyrillic”. Due to the free movement of the brush, the effect of the challenge is created. I boldly sneer at the orthodox writing of Cyrillic letters, achieving a grunge effect.

My artistic creations are a confluence of typography and vibrant color palettes. With each piece, I aim to channel my emotions and unleash my creativity to craft a unique and expressive work. This philosophy is evident in my latest creation, “You are enough,” which is intended to communicate a powerful message of self-acceptance and empowerment. By presenting this artwork to the world, I seek to inspire viewers to embrace their authentic selves and avoid the pressure to conform to societal norms or expectations. My hope is that this work will encourage individuals to celebrate their unique identities and find solace in their individuality.

Die Hellvetica entstand im Rahmen meiner Bachelor Arbeit und basiert auf theoretischen Themen wie Aneignung, Wiederholung, Kopie sowie Originalität und Autorschaft. Die weltweit verbreitetste Schriftart, die Helvetica, wurde als Grundlage genommen, um aus dieser systematisch und experimentell aufeinander aufbauende, neue Variationen und Versionen zu entwerfen. Mit der Absicht, sich gegen die herrschende und überholte Originalitätsmoral zu stellen, sowie ganz bewusst dem daraus resultierenden Zwang zu entgehen und im Einklang mit der menschlichen Natur und dem alltäglichen künstlerischen Schaffen ein neues einzigartiges Originalwerk – gerade durch Wiederholung und Aneignung – zu erschaffen.

BRZO offers the fastest coffee experience in town. Where warmth and hospitality meet crazy typography, it’s a fresh, joyful, and experimental space. Instantly, one feels at home and welcomed.

The Retreat, a dance performance, depicts the understanding of the concept of “ Otherness”. When one understands to confront and embrace themselves; boundary is formed and oneself would realize the otherness that lies outside their territory. Throughout the performance, each dancer gradually experiences the impact of their movements towards the environment and others. This concept has been brought upon to the process of design. Typography in this design works parallel with the dancers. Wicked and experimental forms of types are open for interpretation in hope of stimulating the audience’s curiosity and somewhat defining “otherness” in their perspective.

Normalizer -then.
Normalization and normal.
Sooooo normalized
Hyper normalize -till decay.
Too normalized for lines, and then waves.
Vibrations of normality till 425Hz
Saturated rhythmic escalated.
A play on the norm that never existed.
