Rotterdam

“Niet lullen, maar poetsen!” Translation: Don’t bullshit, just do the work!” And many more expressions from Rotjeknor (Rotterdam) are hidden this photo conversion.

This typeface is developed with the designer in mind. Nel is a modern typeface with lots of options. The Regular version consists of UPPERCASE and lowercase letters, and quite a few other punctuation marks. The Nel Brickbuild is a playful stencil version and the Nel Dots is a dotted typeface. The Nel also has a light and heavy style with corresponding fun versions. Icons (an all icon font) is the most recent member. There are nine options in total to mix and match while designing awesome prints, posters, logos, or whatever 🙂

Spuren/Traces

I want to express my works as “Spuren”.
They’re like a “Zeitgeist” for me what I’ve done in the past.
The first “R-O-T-O-R-BOOK” is a work that created a new image with only the alphabet consisting of R-O-T-O-R.
I used the Futura but I wanted to give it a different feeling that can’t felt with the existing alphabet.
Next, “Umbruch Book” is literally my personal Umbruch theme and made like a little magazine.
Studying in Germany is my Umbruch, so Germany, where I could start designing, became a subject and related content.
It’s a bit of a pity that I took the text from a page from the Bauhaus, but the photos and the cover were made by me.
I’m honored to post traces of mine in Slanted.

FCUK SAFE, ADD YELLOW

A classic serif font with a twist. WBP Emperio has an interesting shape. She has rounded corners and a slightly ‘curvy’ look. The little indent makes her stand out above the rest. A sensation in the making. Emperio has two styles. The Regular: Great for designing friendly corporate identities. And there’s the Hand Drawn style: Great for design posters of prints with a handmade feel. Combine the two and you can go infinite.

Die Wilde Jagd

The task was to design a poster for the concert of the German band «Wilde Jagd» in the Neubad Luzern. The name of the band refers to an old folklore motif that occurs in various northern European cultures. Wild Hunts typically involve a chase led by a mythological figure escorted by a ghostly group of hunters engaged in pursuit. For the poster design I tried to capture the atmosphere of this hunt by designing a lettering based on fraktur fonts which is dismembered in a dinamic style.

Chocolated ink

The creation of this typographical error, or more precisely a typographical printing error, is due to the support on which the typography was printed. A transparent paper which was to be used as a cover for a photographic paper edition. This edition was made for the museum of photography in Chalon-sur-Saône. In order to define the typographic size of the title on the cover, I made a scale print on a transparent paper. Simply, on this type of paper, there is a face which absorbs the ink and another which is impermeable. I must specify that I made this home-made print on an inkjet printer, which creates this ink deposit.

Lustra Variable Font

Lustra – a variable pixel font, is an outcome of the Lem Variable Fonts Workshop, conducted by Verena Gerlach and Maciej Połczyński in 2021. The goal for each participant of the workshop was to create a variable font inspired by Stanisław Lem – a polish science fiction author and futurologist.
This typeface visualizes the transition between human world and the world of Lem’s works. The form of it was heavily inspired by mathematical and logical, yet still organic planetary forms from one of his most famous novels „Solaris”. It fits best in patterns or other decorative purposes.

Breach Festival 2022

Breach Festival is a festival dedicated to Improvisation and Experimental music.
Breach’s mission is to boost and support these practices in Cyprus: free improvisation, free jazz, contemporary classical music, experimental electronic music, sound-art, as well as many other uncharted sound territories.
This year is the first edition of the Breach Festival and it has joined forces with the Irtijal Festival in Lebanon – the largest festival in Beirut which celebrates its 22nd anniversary of supporting improvised and experimental music.

Gobbble Typeface Specimen

Gobbble is our first typeface and effort on building type and drawing fonts together as Lobbby24, a collective founded during the first Covid-19 lockdown. We couldn’t meet and see each other so we thought about ways to connect and work asynchronously as a team. Every style is drawn by another person using the same stroke thickness and metrics so all letters connect to each other at fixed points. This makes it possible to mix up all styles and create a united mess.

We released Gobbble on Erntedank 2020, the german Thanksgiving, free and open source. For Halloween 2020 we added three Lining styles.

Metamorphose & Philia

The multicolored typeface “Metamorphose” is inspired by the biological phenomenon of the same name. Each glyph of the font is a formal transition of another glyph. The various shapes take reference to Jugendstil designs of the early 1920s as well as to an anthroposophic approach to design, formulated by Rudolf Steiner during the same time. Besides this abstract experiment, a more functional and readable typeface was designed with the same ideas as a starting point. “Philia” offers contextual alternates for most glyphs, resulting in words whose letters seem to lean towards each other.

Piano Alphabet

This artwork was created after i listened to a lyrical song and get some inspiration from it. So why i will use piano to creative it? That is because the melody of the whole song uses a lot of piano sounds, so in the final i use the piano form to complete this artwork.

The Children of Loki

This is a series of ten craft beer can labels, each using experimental type layouts to tell a part of a story, the parts of that story explained through a statistic. Each statistic refers to the economic differences encountered in life by the Baby Boomer Generation and the Millennial Generation. It is a comparison in spending power, earning power, the cost of housing, education, debt, and investments in infrastructure that enriched an older generation at the crippling expense of future generations. A true display of selfishness and individualism that will have economic ramifications for generations to come.

The Children of Loki

This series of work is a rally cry against the American economic system that concentrates wealth and power in the hands of so few while leaving so many at the mercy of an uncaring government. It demands justice for the proletariat. It demands freedom from the American oligarchy and the stranglehold they have on our ability to lead lives of health, education and happiness. It uses symbolism reminiscent of the Norse God Loki and his fight against the Aesir of Asgard while overlaying broken type on top of Hamilton Nolan’s powerful essay on making the rich uncomfortable. The broken type provides a weak structure to the overall design while attempting to story tell at the same time.

Different, please get in touch

In my work I experiment with the recognition and understanding of forms we commonly accept as letters. The criteria for visual symbols conveying visual language prioritizes unambiguous communication. In this work however, I capitalize on connotational power of letterforms to create various readings of a type-image that conveys altered visual messages. The objective is to make the viewer pause, disrupt expectations, and to spark ambivalence. Words of insignificance assume an existence of their own. I utilize and experiment with “found” text fragments that are derived from the everyday. Deconstructing these helps to reconceptualize an idea of a convention we heavily rely on for communication.

triple w dot com

The types came along in the experiments in creating identity and campaign for a hypothetical experiential NFT art creating studio named www studio. The brand stated as a challenge and questioning to what is ‘art’ and the establishment of ‘identity’ in modern society. The name ‘www’ stands for ‘who owns what?’ and ‘who we are in this world?’, it’s also widely known as the short for ‘world wide web’ on the Internet thus also as a meaning connecting to the virtual network. Anyone can enjoy customised merchandise and produce art works that directly coded as NFT to sell or self owned as a ‘profile’ in virtual world with simple sketch in the studio.

BLOW

BLOW is a variable, monospace, dot matrix typeface, playing with the hypnotizing effect of contrary growing and shrinking dots. It includes 3 axes, one for the unique shifting effect, called shift-axis. Furthermore, one axis for the weight and one axis for spacing, which makes smooth spacing and interesting intersections between letters possible. BLOW also includes an OTF stylistic set alternative to the standard monospaced space, called “Alt Space”, which contributes to its legibility in larger texts. The combination of all 3 axis changes its appearance in many ways, which makes its typographical expression very dynamic. BLOW is still work in progress and not published yet.
