GrammarType is a type design tool that allows anyone to design modular typefaces. The system allows to design of a typeface by formalising a “recipe” that transforms a set of input shapes into glyphs through a node-based approach. Thus, the user can input a set of shapes that through a set of geometric operations are transformed and recombined. There are three types of operation nodes: move, rotate, and scale. The relationships between the nodes are established by the links between themselves. The output of one node is passed as an input to another creating a flow of shapes from node to node. GrammarType was developed by Tiago Martins and Sérgio Rebelo at CDV Lab.
OnX Variable
Composed of a single component that interpolates between a circle and a star, OnX Variable is a modular font about inbetweens. The typeface has two axes—weight & sharpness—and a near infinite amount of variations.
Type Play
Fax experiments without the fax machine – playing with thermal paper, stencils, and chemical reactions.
Much of my work explores mixing analogue and digital tools as a creative process. When I deploy analogue techniques, it’s about me adding noise and getting some feeling back into the work. Digital can just be so clinical. Sometimes I like that, but at other times I want grit, a depth or texture that’s ‘real’, not a coded imitation. It feels like I’m trying to dirty things up, break them, and get them to a point where they feel used, like an old record or book that shows signs of use.
The Hummingbird Handbook
As the world’s smallest living bird, we often learn all about hummingbirds in encyclopedias, zooming in to see their beautiful feathers and beaks. However, this mini-handbook wants to showcase the wonders of the hummingbird – its fascinating size. The layout of the book’s design depends entirely on the size of the hummingbird species being presented. If the species exceeds the size of the spread, the hummingbird’s image is cropped and the viewer can’t see the bird in its entirety. The project uses this as a way to get people to think about how to switch perspectives on species. The width of the book is the smallest hummingbird species — Bee Hummingbird.
Musica.OTF
Musica.OTF was born from an in-depth research into the roots of music and dance, through the most varied cultures of the world. The exploration starts from the dance choreographic annotations of the 1700s, up to the Tibetan musical semiography of the early 1800s Butti rites, gathering elements from the notes of classical music and composition.
It’s just about you.
It’s just about you and you and you and you,….proposes different layers of « you » in various languages. « You » is multiple, infinite; intangible. 3.14 explores all these hidden dimensions, cycling into circles. The message is clear, out of the orange, yet it remains invisible, lost in superpositions giving birth to an enigmatic stain whispering : It’s all about you and you and you and you…
Diamond Grotesk
Diamond Grotesk is a variable font that was born from the idea of creating a revival of the Akzidenz Grotesk font. The initial idea was to increase the contrasts of the font and give it a more contemporary look, however, during development, the contrasts were exaggeratedly increased creating a certain imbalance, which instantly gave us the idea of turning them into inktraps. The result is a variable font for text that allows a variety of dynamic solutions that has a total of 402 glyphs, supporting 80% of Latin Plus languages, has a huge variety of ligatures, inktraps and the diamond shape of the dots that gives the font its name.

Dreams of New York
Dreams of New York is a project that evolved out of our ongoing love affair with New York. We began “wandering” the streets of New York through Google Earth and eventually started to document the strange frozen images of life we found there. After countless digital forays into this weird wonderful landscape, we realized that there was something special happening that we wanted to capture and share.
Untilted
My work began with my first photographic enlarger. Rather than using negatives, I experimented with putting papers containing typography prints like receipts into it. As the idea evolved, I switched to transparent packaging to allow for shorter exposure times. I intentionally made mistakes like double exposures and unfocused negatives, and even re-exposed the paper during development. The result was a unique and experimental print with no digital retouching involved.
Everything will be okay
It is a call for optimism and the certainty that everything bad and difficult, no matter what it is, will end and improve. And there is an example of it, Starting from January 2020, which marked the beginning of a new decade. A stretch of bad events kicked off and many people around the world had a hard time. There were a string of wildfires, volcanos, airplane crashes, train derails, Flash floods, Landfalls, earthquakes, Multiple explosions, and all besides the Covid-19 pandemic. Also, All the bad events that happened did not prevent the happening of the good ones. And now everything improved and is okay.

Marbla Variable Font
Marbla is an experimental display typeface exploring the possibilities of variable fonts to change the mood and personality of a typeface. Starting with a friendly regular style the letterforms can be modified via the axes “Inktrap”, “Balloon” and “Curve” creating expressive and unusual shapes. The result is a variable font with dynamic and playful display styles which can be combined very well with the legible Regular. The intensity of each effect can be continuously adjusted. The combination of the three axes creates countless possibilities of variation.
Ethics for Aliens & Survivors
A BOOK on SOCIAL COMMITMENT AND ARTIVISM BY UN MUNDO FELIZ
This book present design is a tool of artistic communication that when it tackles social issues, which are generally controversial, becomes visual activism. Everything is there, we only have to know how to look and participate as free and reflective citizens who want to change attitudes, behaviours and conventions that do not allow society to advance. Un Mundo Feliz Images speak to us, they interrogate us, it is necessary to learn to listen and activate our responses.
KIND OF DISTORTION
Kind of distortion come from a work mad during 2018, it was a zine. It was a music and graphic project in order to make something to express my self and create a safe space where experiments with typo, scanner and old mag. K O D is retouch from over there: a project with not a deep values but with a strong wish to make chaos. I thing this is fitting with the request of the open call, Enjoy!
Cheers,
Fede

Words games
This experimental posters are made from the poems of Ukrainian futurists. Futurists experimented with the sound of words, so I decided to experiment with the form of words and how they can look in the physical world.
Anne Krieger_Macbook Pro
The work is a version, translated into the analog world, of a backup of my computer data. All books (folders) are simultaneously translated folders from my computer desktop. All data is translated into binary codes and can be transformed back into virtual data by scanning. Printed on plastic paper to make it longer lasting and archival. Thus lasts longer than any hard drive.
Analogue Nostalgia

The work deals broadly with the lack of movement and haptics in the digital, but will not be experienced in the digital, but translated into the “analog world”. The longing for the haptic is not presented here like a fleeting retro trend. The haptic aspect of the analog is made tangible and at the same time the limitations of the digital are made clear.
