What will artificial intelligence tell us?
She kept prompting and prompting the AI to write in a language that was both familiar and unfamiliar. The analysis of artificial intelligence and the special effects of Photoshop are presented in this work.
Break down the walls
A visual study that employs the grid and typography to convey and illustrate the transgression of social boundaries.
“Letters are signs for sound”, Eric Gill.
Exploring how the form of letters changes due to sounds by capturing the vibrations that occur using a plastic bag, water, classic music, and a camera. Diving into playful typography, both literally and metaphorically.
Material vs Sensation
Weightlessness? Lightness? Metal? Close or far? On the surface or in space? Writing something or flying? AI helped me create these interesting and strange searches.
Going Viral
This piece of experimental type is the title illustration for an editorial piece about a drag queen exploring the relationship between internet virality and a positive HIV diagnoses. The piece will be featured in a new publication called Physical Release and will be distributed by ASHwell, a sexual health and wellness organization based in Austin, Texas.

contemplate
Within the chaos of daily life, letters and words blend into a grid of confusing shapes. It is necessary to stop and admire the surroundings, then contemplate: to find meaning and direction, in which the act of contemplation, pause and reflection is hidden in silence, to catch a breath and appreciate the harmony hidden in the mess.

FILTH
Maite Oswald, a design student, explores AI’s role in graphic design. She asks, “How dirty is the use of AI? Are we, as designers, rendering ourselves obsolete or is AI just a tool that can’t replace true creativity?” She is currently working on a series of posters featuring AI-generated typography. Each poster is composed of several AI-generated images, which have been meticulously retouched and edited. Where does AI end and her creative process begin, and does using AI make her a ‘nasty girl’?
Outline
Experiment with letter shapes. An attempt to make an inscription with one movement of the hand. The line draws either forms or counterforms between the letters.
Plant lovers
The shape of the letters is based on the leaves of different indoor plants.

NUCLEUS
Stiva Kornfeld’s project “Nucleus” delves into experimental typography inspired by his fascination with organic cell structures. By pushing the boundaries of digital design tools, Kornfeld generates new, unexpected forms that challenge traditional design norms. “Nucleus” shows how accidents and imprecision can lead to innovative designs, offering a fresh perspective on type creation. This project highlights the fusion of technology and creativity, embodying experimental graphic design.
BT Flimmer – A Flickering Display Font
BT Flimmer is a distorted display font developed by photographing letters through a textured vase filled with water. By turning the vase slightly after each photo, a series of multiple versions of the same letter were created. This process created flickering and restless looking characters. Each letter and number offers 4 variations (including the standard version) wich are swapped automatically using contextual alternates, leading to variation in the look of the written text.
BT Linienwerk – A Variable Display Font
BT Linienwerk is a variable display font encompassing rectangular shapes that appear and disappear based on the value of the FORM axis. The Font combines a constructed angular font skeleton with rectangles overlapping and interacting with the shape underneath.
Chimera Type Specimen
Chimera is an incredibly bold and unique display typeface inspired by the Rorschach test, a psychological tool known for its inkblot patterns used to analyze perception and imagination. This typeface captures the essence of these abstract, symmetrical forms, resulting in letterforms that are both striking and enigmatic.
Unconcious traces
The sensitive gaze collects and archives visual residues from everyday life; these are then digitally processed to achieve homogeneity among them. Afterwards, they are manipulated using code (via Processing) and what appear to be pieces of an infinite puzzle are obtained. These pieces are interpreted individually and associated with numbers and letters. Finally, they are played with as a whole, constructing letters of different typographic categories.
Throughout the construction process, error

Scattered among our folders and hard drives, often unnoticed, are pretty glyphs. This specimen has been conceived and designed as a collection of attractive characters. Beyond the usual typographic signs, it deploys a constellation of heterogeneous signs that tell stories. It’s a question of taking the time to observe these decals, out of fascination, obsession and adoration. Let their original meanings disappear and turn them into independent entities among which one can now navigate.
Fire Material Study
A material study exploring fire as a material and how its use in an analog typographic process can visually impact meaning.
Feminine grotesk
This typeface was designed with biological and monstrous forms as its motif. The organic and chunky stems paired with sharply truncated sans-serif forms visually discomfort while capturing attention. When viewed in long texts, this typeface can cause discomfort due to its distorted visual flow. Through these difficult and bizarre forms, the intention was to break free from the constraining standards imposed on women and express a raw and liberated representation of femininity.
Droit (note: this is the correct art for Droit)
Droit is a distinctive display typeface characterized by its straight, fragmented lines that form round and diagonal shapes. The typeface creates a unique texture and rhythm through the interplay of wide and narrow letters, resulting in an unconventional look rooted in the application of a narrow set of parameters.
