Announcement poster for the new book by Almut Baumgarten. With a translation into Ukrainian by Chrystyna Nazakewytsch and illustrations by Merle Tebbe.

This student publication features several interviews and essays about graphic design. The cover was made by experimenting with 3D printed type that was vaccuum sealed under a transparent sheet to create a flat cover with relief typography.

White Night – silkscreen printed announcement poster for the Culture Night at the Department of Design of the Folkwang University of the Arts (located on Zollverein World Heritage Site). Printed by hand in jet-black and yellow-green afterglow color (yes, the poster glows in the dark :-)).

Mycographiæ proposes typography as living beings through a bio-printing process with biological inks made of molds and yeasts. Like micro-fungi that permeate the layers of life, new forms of symbiotic writings come to life to redefine the experience of an image/letter: a letter that’s now cultivated.
In this act, the fungus no longer reproduces a sign; it digests its form, seizing it to redefine its structure and vitality : the sign gradually gains an organic autonomy that escapes the designer.

Exploration of the anatomy and bones of typography, and the universe of hidden structures and haptics that emerges when teasing typography.

Sound waves enable us to speak. When we read, we perceive letters visually, and the brain processes this information, instructing the vocal cords to send a pulse using a scanner and speaker. For example, vibrations can occur at frequencies like 16.35 Hz and 32.70 Hz. Sound waves allow the air vibrations caused by a letter to be detected by our eardrum. My experiment explores how letters would appear if sound waves were projected onto them, conducted in a home environment.

A real poster for a hypothetical movie scenario written by Efthimis Fillipou, designed during a real workshop organized by Vasilis Marmatakis. The custom lettering and cross-like form are inspired by the quirks and details of the Byzantine alphabet, intermixed with the simple shapes of Akzidenz-Grotesk. It was heretically produced by embracing the grotesque accidents of the printing method when combined with the selected heavily textured semi-transparent, cream-colored, Italian paper.

Catalogue about Maria Sanmartí, a mid-20th century painter. Mother of the painter Antoni Clavé, she was highly recognized in Europe and in our country, but was absurdly forgotten. In this project, we have created a dialogue between her work and tipography.

“Spectral Reverbs” is an experimental font that captures the ethereal interplay of light and darkness. Inspired by the concept of ghostly echoes and lasting impressions, it embodies the reverberations of emotions, memories, and stories that linger long after the initial experience. The font’s fluid forms and contrasting elements evoke a wide spectrum of sentiments, resonating with depth and leaving a profound impact, much like the reverberations of a haunting melody.

TheeoTypeface and TheeoSymbols are integral to the brand identity of Theeo, a change design firm and consultancy based in Brooklyn.

The font seamlessly extends the unique logo design, offering glyphs and characters ideal for product design and text initials.

The visual language is further enriched with symbols, colors, and AI-generated artwork and animations to be used on https://theeo.co/ | https://www.instagram.com/theeo.co | https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-eo-company

In this context, the experience echoes the philosophical ideas of Kant, highlighting the gap between theory and practice. While theoretical frameworks provide initial guidance, it is through lived experience and the courage to push beyond limitations that one fully grasps the transformative power of art. The metaphorical glass ceilings symbolize the barriers that obstruct progress, and overcoming them demands a mindset liberated from resentment and negativity, both internally and externally.

Jealousy. The letter J was made in this state from clay.

The designer found a page featuring a B model with a K-shaped mantle. It is unclear if the K-shaped mantle is tailored for the letter B or if the letter B grows under the cover of the mantle. One thing is for sure: the designer shows more interest in the mantle rather than the model.

States grotesque experiments with ever-relevant quirky elements of early american grotesques.  Parts were tamed via variable font technology to the modern spectator.
During reserarch of 19th century specimens, among various solutions, “bitten” letter t caught our attention. At the time lead types experinced big runs & heavy use, so that details got broken off, ink clogged up counters. In order to give a modern typographer full control of impression we added design axis “Pressure” to the family.

Panik / Kalm is a type family for editorial design, inspired by the art of punchcutting. The idea stems from an exploration of how the techniques and approaches used in punchcutting can be used as an experimental tool to create new lettershapes. A process of carving punches in soap, coding, sketching and calligraphy has brought the idea of drawing upright letters with back-slanted counters. The whole design process has been a rollercoaster of states of panic and calmness, hence the name.

Difraccions is an experimental music festival for which we have designed the visual identity. In 2023, the festival revolves around reinterpretation. Inspired by concrete poetry of the mid-20th century we created dynamic forms that interact with the theme of this edition.
