Type Distort Decay is an experimental typeface workout where I try to work on a series of three

First is creating the design poster using the typefaces that I love.

“Distort” is when I try to break the design grid by randomly distorting the layout.

“Decay” is to repeatedly deconstruct everything until it generates a random pattern.

Depending on complexity, I may use it as a texture for the next exercise. In a way, my next poster always has a DNA of the previous layout.

I custom made this typeface for a small two-player game called ‹Book Nooks›. In the game the characters need to solve puzzles revolving around word inventories. I wanted the letter forms to relate to each character’s abilities. The first character can conjure up objects through nouns in its inventory, so I assigned the uppercase letters to them and made them bulky and massive. The second character can manipulate in-game objects through adjectives in its inventory. To reflect this connecting, associative ability in the typeface I used geometric shaped sans letters in conjunction with high-contrast serifs for the lowercase alphabet.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health disorder that can cause above-normal levels of hyperactive and impulsive behaviors. People with ADHD may also have trouble focusing their attention on a single task or sitting still for long periods of time. Both adults and children can have ADHD.

This poster seeks to communicate the feeling of having ADHD through clashing, complementary colors, and repetitions of the acronym ADHD. The visual disorientation of the poster mimics the loss of control that many sufferers of this condition feel.

This experimental typeface was inspired by the work of Vilmos Huszar, more specifically, by the cover of the De Stijl magazine designed by him in 1917, and the unique font he made for the de stijl logo. This work enhances the design of the original typeface, while it is also a stylistic and graphic innovation. The sample sheets of font-experiments became distinctive images, compact shapes by the use of patterns and grids that do not modify the basic shape of the fonts. It is, in every case, a peculiar and universal pattern system that reshape the original design.

Dora Balla is a graphic designer and university professor at the MOME, member of the AGI. As a designer she focuses on personal and experimental methods in typography, type design and editorial design. She has been working on a research project since a decade, based on finding the relationship between visual research and contemporary graphic design history, primarily Hungarian cultural heritage.

Because there is always a new fear to add every new year 🙂

A visual interpretation of the iconic Gang Starr – Moments of truth song.

The Hauskonzert series works with an experimental Lettering that visualizes the emotions that listeners are feeling while listening to the concert.

At the beginning the idea was to create a typeface with simple and small amount of shapes. I really liked the outcome of it so I decided to use the Typeface for a personal project. I created an Instagram Filter with the Letters that was used around the New Years celebrations in 2021.
