What they really feel?
There is this quote: be kind to people, everyone fighting they own war.
This artwork is exactly about this, in our “smiling” society you rarely can see what people really feel, even if they are you’re co-workers, neighbours or even friends. The issue become even more serious with wealthy and bright-side mask of social media. I want to encourage people show they reel feeling and real self, I hope it will help our society become more empathetic.
In this together
No matter what we’re fighting for, if we fight together, we’re the strongest.
Typeface of the Month: Slandic
We are presenting our Typeface of the Month: Slandic by the German typeface designer Philip Lammert and published by his recently founded type foundry Vibrant Types.
Headlines are transformed into clear-cut messages with the handwriting type family Slandic. Its robust appeal combines the elegance of script typefaces with the lightness of handwritten notes. Therefore it might rather be the italic of a humanist sans, which perfectly suits for exciting contrasting typography. It offers a wide range of six weights and also a variable font.
What makes the Slandic so playful is the synergy between the quite narrow lowercase letters and the wide uppercase letters. It testifies humanist style to the core, what you can tell from the geometric H and O, the sweeping legs of K and R, the extending crossbar of the e and the oldstyle default numerals. Now, if that doesn’t make beautiful words! This very distinct aesthetic is a reference to the 1980s script handwriting “The Icelandic Method” by calligrapher Briem that originates in 16th-century chancery cursive. You can see it very clearly in Slandic’s sharp upward angles and its long-limbed ascenders.
Slandic’s visual appeal sets a reliable tone. It makes anything but a softened brush impression. Vertical characters vary quite balanced to define metrics, always minding precision. Curves confidently shape angles. Contours define clear rather than decorative characters. Strokes end straight like in a sans-serif. The low stroke contrast forms solid words. The almost upright italic angle gives it its sincerity. Thus it easily combines with any sans-serif or serif, adding a personal note to your design without giving it a comic spin.
The fonts of the Slandic allow you to design straight to the point. Most handwritten and script typefaces offer one single weight for a limited purpose, whereas Slandic’s font family is broadly applicable. Between Thin and Black you will find the style that matches your design. OpenType features let you choose from various sets of figures. The all caps feature activates alternative characters for a more harmonious rhythm. A stylistic set makes these characters accessible for a more compact body text.
Slandic is the third typeface of Philip Lammert who designed the sans-serif Peter and the serif DIN Neue Roman, which is also featured in the Yearbook of Type 2019/20. Under the foundry name Vibrant Types, he now publishes this expressive handwritten style typeface. It is one of the first Latin handwritten and script variable fonts.

HIBER 1.0
A reality post COVID-19 will be marked by a renewed sense of connection to our interior life. Our collective focus will now shift to the beauty of the essential: health, shelter, nutrition, love.
HIBER 1.0 offers 3 accessible tools of liberation: a bag to bring energy/seeds home, seeds to grow produce and well-being, and a bread baking form to generate food for the imagination.
HIBER 1.0 draws inspiration from the Whole Earth Catalog, Ursula K. Le Guin, Brian Wilson’s ‘Radiant Radish’ Health Food Store and The Diggers.
The project was developed by Oscar Salguero, in collaboration with the 433 Institute and MLF [Mark Lombardi Faction].
Coexist
Give me your hand
Error: We couldn’t verify you as a human being.
Tell me what the future looks like and I’ll let you know who you are.
After all, has it always been our discipline to anticipate the future. In times of terrible prognosis we only want to turn around and not say or dare to say anything about what the future might hold. We only want to be human until the artificial intelligences deny our children their humanity and then leave. Not because they are less intelligent, more because we did not know how to survive. And that is all I can say about being human.
Coexistence Matters
In light to the worldwide news we are facing between a pandemic, riots, revolutions, and unnoticed wars, this is a response that aims to revolt its own message of all lives matter, of all voices matter, of coexistence matters. It is merely a reminder, that we live in a world where there are bigger things than what we just see or experience around us that matter. Our existence is shaped by everything surrounding us including the new adoptions of different normals.

Coexist & Aesthetics
Coexisting means order. To create an aesthetic and oderly future we must create parallel spaces and keep distances which respect the others yet still make us able to act. Design is a tool to show graphic elements coexist and live in a peacefully and calm correlation. It is now more important than ever to translate this shown cited vocabulary in our daily lives to create an aesthetic future.
Coexist & Aesthetics
Coexist as an international statement. The term
is known but the shape of the word differs from
language to language. We have to think, act and also write as a global community in 2020.

Well, sometimes, it’s not always easy. May it be minor issues or large scale problems. We’re living in a multilayered, complex and eclectic world. Help out. Show empathy. Make life better everyday. Because we’re living all together. All together, we coexist.

We are a community.
Coexist Consistently
Being consistent in our times is truly the most difficult challenge. common sense is the least common of the senses
There is always the option to COEXIST
I was working late night and thought about a good idea for the poster for COEXIST. Then I saw my keyboard with the three buttons, “control”, “option” and “command”. While control and command are words, which are more close to symbolizing opression, the word option is the key to open the door to a more progressive society.
If And Again
Historically, there is this perception of the Taegeuk icon in Asia, as a representation of perfect harmony. Yin and Yang and some state of ultimate continuity. But I continue to see that perhaps it is not a perfect harmony we should be striving for, but perhaps better said, an imperfect harmony. A realization that perhaps in perfection lies the problem. And that we truly are all, anywhere and always far from perfect. Perhaps, it is harmony through imperfection.
