36 hertz

The typeface 36 hertz was developed by Jannis Braunberger as part of his bachelor thesis Bass, published 2025 at HBKsaar. The project explores experimental translations of sound into visual language. Using cymatics and photography, structures created by a 36 hertz frequency were recorded. All elements were extracted directly from these images, making the typeface the direct result of a specific frequency rather than a conventional design system. This process is applicable to other frequencies.

SNS BUBBLE TYPE

Initially designed to embellish a varsity jacket as a chenille patch, this font gives a twist to traditional collegiate typography by keeping it simple, sporty, bold and yet cute. Although it was never used on the final product, it has continuously been developed and found its way back to textile on this specimen t-shirt.

Beaded Lowercase Alphabet

A complete lowercase alphabet hand-sewn from Czech glass beads in two contrasting colours. Each letter is constructed as a modular beaded form that functions both independently and as part of a unified typographic system. The alphabet serves as a template for creating wearable typography—such as bracelets and necklaces—supporting the consistent construction of each character and ensuring coherence across the entire typeface.

Digital Jungle

Digital Jungle is an experimental poster that explores the tension between order and chaos within the contemporary digital landscape. Through fragmented typography and imagery, the viewer encounters only partial information, filtered through layers of visual noise. This balance between clarity and disruption gives the composition a sense of life – chaotic at first glance but ultimately unified and intentional.

Home-Heart

A heart woven from words and their fragments. Repeating letters pulse like a heartbeat. This is a reminder: home is not an address or walls — it’s feeling another’s heart as your own. In a world where likes replace closeness, AI fakes emotions, and fractures isolate us, this poster demands radical connection: one heartbeat is everyone’s.
In the age of migration, housing crisis and digital homelessness: every home starts in the heart, every heart is someone’s home.

Remember Freedom

Remember Freedom is a typographic portrait where a human face is constructed entirely from imperative words and core values: REMEMBER,FREEDOM,KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN, COMPASSION ,LOVE,SEE THE WORLD. The text is not decoration — it is the very substance of identity. Consciousness is literally woven from these concepts. An organic background of leaves and neural-like patterns underscores the fragile link between inner human experience and external reality. The strict black-and-white palette he

Noise

Noise accompanies us everywhere in life. We can no longer fight visual, auditory and olfactory noise. It began to destroy us, to separate us from reality. It is necessary to conduct informational and visual hygiene, avoid the noise surrounding us. Make decisions in a calm environment, focusing only on your opinion and listening to your heart.
The poster was created for an international competition. Became a participant of Bucharest Graphic Days 2023

Rough draft

Ink gives us creative freedom. We can draw with a brush, a hand, or any object that we liked. Ink gives us the freedom to create sketches, try something new and remake, crumple, tear or soak. We can cherish our thoughts and then use them for the rest of our lives.
The poster was made by invitation to participate in the international exhibition of contemporary design Tongxiang-2023 International Exhibition of Contemporary

Generating 26

Generative design study around 26. We generated many iterations of the lettering. Expanding it boundaries, condensing it shapes to the core or revealing hidden connections as roots. We tried to see typography as a living body. One drawing of many organic layers and invisible circuits.

The Design Talks #02

For the second edition of The Design Talks, Warsaw will transform into the European hotspot for motion graphics, branding, and typography on February 7, 2026. Taking place at Elektronik Cinema, the event brings together designers, studios, and enthusiasts for a full day of inspiration, learning, and creative exchange. The conference unites motion, branding, and typography as one cohesive system, showing how static brands can come alive through motion typography, how to experiment with letters in motion graphics, and how to use fonts effectively to build strong brand identities.

The day will feature an international lineup of speakers, including Yevgeniy Anfalov (Kyiv Type Foundry), Johannes Breyer (Dinamo Typefaces), Kiel Danger Mutschelknaus, Liza Enebeis (Studio Dumbar), Radek Sidun (Briefcase Type Foundry), and Ben Wittner (Eps51). They will share insights, stories, and practical knowledge on connecting motion, branding, and typography, turning static brands into motion systems, using type creatively in motion graphics, and avoiding boring projects. Participants will also learn where to find fonts, how to use typefaces effectively, and what will matter most in motion branding typography in 2026.

Creative Encounters: Exploring the Art of “Thinking Through Making”

This project is a collaboration between Courtney Windham and Mario Bocanegra of Auburn University’s School of Industrial + Graphic Design.
The original collages are composed of photographs by Mario Bocanegra, collected images by Courtney Windham, and AI-generated images that have been cut, pasted, placed, and reassembled as new works of design and art. The work is designed to promote a call for presentations at the Spring 2024 MACAA Satellite Virtual Conference.

Breakpoint

BreakPoint is a response to the question: what would a typeface look like if secrecy were coded directly into it, rather than applied manually. The result is a variable typeface with multiple axes that shift in legibility, complexity, and distortion—drawing directly to the ways secrecy manifests itself in digital systems.

Custom Lettering for The Mighty Tiny & The Many Few

This project involved the creative direction, cover artwork, and bespoke lettering for Be The Good People, the first full-length release by The Mighty Tiny for ÅND&. Letterforms were built from torn paper scraps, assembled and scanned to retain texture and material noise. This added a unique and personal touch to the visuals and emulated the essence of the music.

Collaborative Collage Posters

In this project, students compose posters via analog, collaborative methods. For each composition, a series of random prompts are issued. E.g., Students explore verbs like weave, tear, and layer. I foster an improvisational approach by periodically requiring the students to swap compositions and work collaboratively. Time limits are set and each collage is executed in 20 minutes or less. Secondary type is added digitally. PLEASE REFER TO MY EMAIL AS IT CONTAINS A DETAILED EXPLANATION.

Bubble Shift

An interactive web-based typographic tool that creates liquid bubble distortion effects on text using WebGL shaders and p5.js. This tool allows you to create dynamic, water-like text effects with customizable animated bubbles that displace and refract the typography.

Street Glyphs

Street Glyphs is a collection of letters drawn in urban spaces using a self-made tool that creates spatial slit scans with a phone. Combining sensor data with a live camera feed makes it possible to paint with video in 3D by moving the phone through space. Recorded samples are then loaded into a special workstation, where the glyphs can be composed and customized. Drawing inspiration from the rebellious spirit of graffiti, each glyph represents the environment in which it was created.

Created by AI

Poster – Created by AI
The poster visualizes the phrase “Created by AI”, with each letter composed of digital glyphs: icons and markers from design software representing fills, outlines, and empty states.
The composition reflects on automation and digital authorship, where human presence is minimal.
It explores the interplay between code, interface, and visual form, questioning the boundaries between machine-generated perfection and residual human influence.

Stories variable typeface

This variable font Stories challenges the manner in which type styles should function. With the dynamic nature of the web and digital tools available, it questions why digital type should still be limited by the rules of the mechanical typeset. Type was designed considering moment of transition as an inherent part of the typeface. With a move of a toggle the letters transform from contemporary and structured form into a dynamic and rule bending shape.

Human touch

Poster – Human Touch
The poster examines human presence and imperfection through type drawn with a glue gun.
Its raw, tactile texture emphasizes the physical act of making and the tension between control and spontaneity.
The composition centers on unrefined human gestures, showing type as both medium and expression, embodying presence, vulnerability, and the delicate boundary between approachability and distance.

x_3

X_3 depicts a distorted X-ray of human knees, grotesquely bent beyond natural form. The work reflects human self-denial: questioning myths can fragment mind, body, and spirit. The bent X-ray embodies the toll of consistent negation. Typographic form and human vulnerability intersect, visualizing denial as both concept and condition.
