Misto font is a loveletter to Slavutych — the youngest city of Ukraine, which was born after the Chernobyl explosion.

Misto is a reverse-contrast display typeface. Its squat, expansive letterforms draw inspiration from the shapes of the low, wide buildings in Slavutych, which incorporate architectural styles from eight regions of the former Soviet Union.

Misto font designed to work best in headlines, including logo design, brand identities, websites, packaging and posters. It supports both Cyrillic and Latin versions.

Kreis is a modular typeface with a modern sharp character inspired by the shape of oldschool CD-disk. It consists of three simple modules with the roots in square and circle shapes.

Letterforms create a geometric typographic pattern, but at the same time it remains readable.

Kreis supports basic Cyrillic and Latin versions and works best in headings, logos and strong messages.

Here comes our new Aerobik display typeface! With its unique bouncing aesthetics made of outlines, it does not match any existing typographic style. It refers as much to graffiti in some aspects as to the way motion and speed are represented in comic books.

Conceived to be used with regular case or capital letters, it turns out to be surprisingly readable in both ways.

The experimental aspect of the font resides in the deliberate confusion between outlines, superposition, blank space, loops and angles.

The mixed media artwork WELL WELL made out of wood, HDPE and foam was the starting point for the development of the PERLER FONT. It was fun to create a whole font out of an artwork that was meant to stand for its own.

The work was inspired by my daughter, who’s drive to sing and be an individual is an inspiration for me to be a bolder and more confident artist.

Inspired by sc-fi movies set in the not too distant future, Betatron originally started life as a type experiment on CoTypes Instagram. After receiving an overwhelmingly positive response it quickly developed into a fully functional typeface which is now available to download for free. Betatron features solely vertical, horizontal, and 45° diagonal lines as it tries to capture each letterform in an abstract and dynamic way.

The type family features a Latin Extended character set, covering most languages written with the Latin script.

Poster for the conference Unruly Landscapes: Producing, Picturing, and Embodying nature in Early Modernity, organized by Christine Göttler, Ivo Raband, Michèle Seehafer, and Steffen Zierholz at the Institute of Art History at the University of Bern. An organic lettering was constructed after a model by Richard Nebbiolo (Lady Carole). Printed in offset with back and silver.

Typedriven illustration and alphabet for a book review called ‘The Language of DNA Should Rewrite English, Too’ which focuses on the terminology of ‘birth defects’. A piece about language, text and translation in the context of the biomedical world and mainly focused on the early stages of life (and even before). The design is based on how chromosomes are structured and displayed. Of course, the font is not perfectly readable which reflects the main problem stated in the first place; the difference in usage of words with possible dangerous and serious consequences.

Artwork exploring how our own reality can be totally different, with the same message.

moreless.type is an experimental typography project which treats letter as starting point to serach for a different means of expression.
these works are the impressions on type.

This project investigates bilingual experiences between English and Korean as experiential typographic forms. Hangul alphabet is an English typeface designed using Korean consonants and vowels for the trans-languaging experience created by Taekyoem Lee. Type Portrait: Hangul explores generative self-portrait photographs. It portrays the typographer’s linguistic and typographic identity using the typeface as a Korean-American. This project transdisciplinary typographic research from typeface design to a contemporary medium such as computational selfies. It brings a new bilingual and trans-languaging experience between Korean and America.

This poster is designed as a boarding pass. During the pandemic we (like so many others) were naturally unable to travel, and as time went on this was one of the things we wanted to do most. In that sense the boarding pass represents this ticket to freedom and the idea of being able to escape from your everyday reality—something we’ve probably all wanted to do a lot during the pas year! So when we started thinking about the Weltformat Festival we ended up talking a lot about this idea of being unable to travel, and hence the idea of the boarding pass as a poster—a way for us to come to Lucerne. On top of this lies the idea of playing with media and formats and to intentionally “misuse” them.

The cold fact popsicle is an awareness appetiser. It’s not meant to sweeten your day. It’s not meant to point fingers at you either. It’s a simple serving of ice cold facts, giving you a heads up on our planetary situation. And hopefully, a reminder to take part in cooling down the Earth together.

The Damascus Modular Typeface is based on the characteristics of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria. The ancient mosque is particularly known for the columns in its courtyard. For the type project, the shapes of these columns were deconstructed and turned into a modular grid system. As a result, positive and negative forms reflect the domes of the mosque, while ornamental letter connections create the impression of arcades.

While the mosque is surrounded by chaos of war today, the typeface is intended to give an idea of what the city of Damascus is truly about: the majestic splendour of Islamic architecture.

This poster shows an extract of digitally generated variations of the letter X using Processing. The tool is built on the principles of parametric design with which an infinite number of variations can be created. Each of these experimental letterforms is created from the same origin by changing the existing parameters of the base form. The functionality of the letters was not the focus of this exercise, the focus lay rather on the changeability of the letter’s form and therefore its expression. The beauty of generative design is that it will always surprise you with unexpected results.
