Cubio™ Mono Type Specimen

Here’s a type specimen poster for the Cubio™ Mono font family from R9 Type+Design. With the hexagonal silhouette as our inspiration, we applied this angular form through all aspects. This includes the overall look of the letters, patterns and icons to the terminal of each letter stem.

SculptPuzzle

The SculptPuzzle is part of a process (see also Colour Animé poster) where I had a wish to create patterns to interact and build with. I experimented with one shape (based on a square divide in four) to make flat colour patterns and three-dimensional puzzle sculptures with.

I explored how flat shapes could translate into three-dimensional shapes. I explore how colours change depending on relation to one another and depending on the light that hit it.

Blow the cartridge

This illustration was inspired by nostalgia for old video games. As a kid, when I had my Super Nintendo console, sometimes the cartridge wouldn’t work, and you had to take it out, blow in it and try again. Usually that would resolve the issue. It’s a reminder of simple, carefree times, when all the problems were so miniscule, even though they seemed like a big deal.

Magnet

Magnet is Frere-Jones Type’s first font release from an external designer. Inga Plönnig is an independent type designer based in Berlin, and probably one of the most promising new designers to enter the type design field in recent years. Thats why the team at Frere-Jones Type is very excited to have Magnet as their first externally-designed font release.

Apart from being struck by Magnet’s beautiful rhythm and shape, Frere-Jones Type could see that Inga’s mix of intuition and analysis made a natural fit with their retail library, and they hope to showcase more work of emerging designers going forward.

Magnet is an energetic and intriguing sans-serif family. Its family structure is unconventional, offering an extra compressed Headline and a workhorse Standard under the same name—effectively two families combined.

Magnet Headline creates a dazzling pattern of tightly packed shapes, which is amplified further in the Slanted and Backslanted styles. Magnet Standard is the quieter sibling, which carries its own flair with deeply cut notches and unusual turns of weight. Its boxy curves take well to dense setting and tight line spacing. Through years of experimenting with rigid patterns and organic details, Inga has created a family that is both surprising and reliable.

Ava’s quest

My photos tell stories. In the present case it is Ava White and her adventures. She follows an inner call and sets out on a journey into her own lower regions. A battle rages within Ava, between good and evil. First, she must face the demons of herself in order to recreate. She steps out of her familiar surroundings, sets into a new world, and finally saves herself. My photos are about longings and fantasies that want to be lived. Without kitsch, people would be sad.

R.E.S – Music Festival

RES stands for “entropy sound response”, an alternative solution to music festivals in uncertain times.
A project driven by promoters, cultural activists and music lovers. A reshaped music experience for limited crowds was located at the enormous Fira Sabadell, using just 5% of its capacity to offer a secure live music experience for pandemic times.

a colourful composition

everything you can see are just some coloured everyday objects I found when I looked around myself – wrapped up in a plastic bag and photographed later on. Nothing really special at first appearance but it becomes special when turning it into a colourful composition.

Having trouble?

Is a personal project about an ironic reinterpretation of posters and business cards of people and activities that offer services of various kinds.
The aim of the project is to give order to a redundant use of information and image, exacerbating the contrast between typography and illustration

N2025

Change through participation.
Design as an exciting and continuous process of change that allows everyone to participate. The prerequisite is created through the use of strong colour blocks, simple shapes and low-threshold typography. Not being finished as a principle – continuous improvement as a goal.

This image is a study in composition and texture. Even though my process is purely digital and highly automatic, I try to create something that seems to be organically grown instead of artificially constructed. I am interested in vague images, that leave you wondering about their origin. Neural networks are the main tool I use in order to synthesize those.
