Punkt. Punkt. Komma, Strich– is a hand-bound book about experimental typography and type design. It includes the serif typeface “Diagonal”, designed for this project and explores the concept of “The Line” in relation to typography as a whole. It is a response to the Student Assessment Scheme task set by the International Society of Typographic Designers (ISTD) and was awarded a Membership Award in June 2024. It is printed on a mixture of white and transparent paper and is set in black and white.

Poster featuring the experimental custom typeface called Expromt (WIP) and the word LOVE in Ukrainian. Love brings closer, unites, and fills the space.

Can experimental typography be based on heritage and its reinterpretation in the modern conext? UKRAINIAN LETTERS (temporary) MUSEUM is the only museum of Ukrainian letters and, perhaps, the smallest museum in the world. The exposition presents 33 letters of the Ukrainian alphabet. The letters were found on old book covers and other printed materials from 1917, the time of the Ukrainian National Republic, to the present day of Independent Ukraine.

The main story in this book is a fictional dialogue between the isolated protagonist and a mosquito in his home during the COVID-19 pandemic. The writer Ivan Dimitrov marked the mosquito’s “words” with the onomatopoeia “bzzzz”. The typographic interpretation of this sound aims to provide additional meaning through visual information. The unconventional approach to the typography adds another (visual) story to the book. This abstract visual narrative activates the reader’s imagination even more.

Retro Meets the Present” is an artistic homage to the 36 Days of Type Challenge 2023. This collection is more than an exploration of the past analogue world; it marks a colorful reinterpretation of retro aesthetics. Each letter reimagines this aesthetics, merging analog switches and textured elements of fabric and glass into dynamic forms. Every sculpture, featuring illuminated components, embodies the vibrancy of the digital world and the fluidity of data transmission.

Vienna Typeface is a three-dimensional portrait of Vienna in 26 letters. The project captures the essence of this majestic city by illustrating the
Latin Alphabet.
Each of the illustrated letters is a 3D miniature that picks up an aspect of the Viennese lifestyle or a monument and portrays them in a diorama.
The illustrative series was created independently to learn 3D by selfeducation.

Renment is a device inspired by Charles Dickens’ aphorism, “We forge the chains we wear in life,” which symbolizes the binding nature of our ideas and emotions. Words can become mental chains, and this device visually represents that. Renment writes the aphorism using chains, then deconstructs the words back into chains, leaving blanks.

Kawaguchi created code analyzing files with either letters drawn or input on a low-res monochrome digital plane; then applying organic, simplified textures to them; and finally replacing them with geometric shapes according to the depth of the texture. By manipulating this image, he has tried several experimental typographic works. The work was inspired by a philosopher Michel Serres’ statement in <> that order is considered a rare state within disorder.

Hinemosu 30 displays letters and patterns by twisting five white elastic bands with thirty actuators to represent the passage of time. The computer software that controls the device generates dynamic images that evoke textile patterns, ocean waves, mountain storms, and falling snow, as well as the date and time.

After studying the detailed calligraphy sheets of Georg Bocskay, the artist reflected by creating an artbook. Through the debossed pages of the book, the letter “a” is formed. The prints are made by using a modular experimental letterpress set, created for this project by the artist.

After photographing anti-sleep benches, the most common form of hostile design in Budapest, the artist created a series of letters for the second chapter (titled “hospitality”) of her photobook. The letters of the word “hospitality” are made manually on a bench-like system built by the artist.

Likhita Japa Mandala is a type experiment inspired by the practice of likhita japa, the written version of mantra meditation. Hand-drawn letters are first repeated and arranged to form a bigger letter, then repeated to create mandalas representing each letter.

The Likhita Japa type experiment is inspired by the practice of likhita japa, the written version of repeating a mantra. The characters are built by repeating hand-drawn letters arranged in the shape of the letter.

Poster for the performance WHAT IS LOVE? A musical celebration.
“WHAT IS LOVE?“ invites the audience to an extraordinary celebration of love: Here the lovebirds philosophise, the musicians cry, the vulvas tap-dance and everyone comes to a climax. A brilliant performance of songs, feminist theories and biographical experiences inspired by Liv Strömquist’s book “The Origin of Love”.

typeone mag encourages you to experiment and find creative approaches to working with typography.

I decided to make a typographic poster with improvised means, and quite unexpectedly I got a tiny thermal printer – these make prints on thermal paper tapes (the same is used for pos terminals, so I even begged for such paper in the nearest pub, and I have no idea why they don’t add pretty graphics to receipts).

experimental poster for a show “transmission” held in maison de la culture de tahiti. readability is significantly complicated here, but the poster has retained an information structure that still allows it to be read. in the word “transmission” letters are divided into component parts to convey possible distortions in the transmission of information.

although posters with a room-space are common, i tried to bend the right side of it partially so that the viewer would not be completely sure that he was really looking into the room. the cat is used as a counterweight to the curvature and returns the viewer to the space of the room. a good cat.
