This project’s primary objective is to conduct experiments promptly using readily available materials to achieve immediate results.
One aspect of the project involved creating a new experimental type called Ospali, derived from colored bath oil.

Let me take you on a journey.
We peel away layers, like fragile onion skins, revealing the raw core beneath. Within vulnerability, as we shed old beliefs and patterns, each piece becomes a testament to our evolution. We learn that embracing every hue—light and shadow—is the only way to experience how light sneaks through the cracks in our wounds.

While working on websites, Donald Roos started playing with CSS and HTML to create letters. One of his mantras is that limitations stimulate creativity. See what you can do with only HTML/CSS elements. The MeccanoType is his first whole alphabet (lower and upper case) made with HTML/CSS.
Anti Asian Hate & Microaggression
“Ching chong” and “ching chang chong” are racial slurs that ridicule Chinese or other East
Asian people. They are crude imitations of Chinese phonology. Since this word may hurt
some people, use other words when playing rock-paper-scissors.
Last week we had our Slanted Summer Party, which at the same time was a celebration of our 10th anniversary of Slanted Publishers, and 20 years of Slanted as a blog—what a number!
It was a super nice and relaxed time with friends, family, creative people and design enthusiasts! We enjoyed a lot of nice and cool drinks, and had plenty of time to catch up and also to talk about our favorite topics: design, books, and typography. We are always delighted to open our workspace for everyone, fostering an atmosphere of creativity, inspiration, and exchange!
A thousand thanks to everyone who came and thank you all for your years of interest and support!
Poster for a one-day symposium on character design and drawing machine, held at the Fonderie de l’Image Campus. The idea of the poster is to graphically express and explore the theme selected for the year of the symposium.
Type design workshop — 5 days at FH Aachen Gestaltung with 22 students — It all starts with the students writing with their opposite hand to produce a typographic hypothesis and ends with the “Neue Ductus Opposite” font.

Władysław Strzemiński (whose name is referenced in the composition) was a prominent Polish avant-garde artist and educator in Łódź. He played a significant role in the development of modern art in Poland & was a key figure in the Constructivist movement. The city of Łódź is often affectionately referred to as LDZ by locals, thus the inspiration for the typographic tension between form and void.
HEY WANT US – a four piece ceramics poster made for the Typography class at the Royal Academy of fine Arts The Hague.
Each of the four ceramic tiles contains a fraction of a sentence from Karen Brodines poetry „Woman Sitting at the Machine, Thinking.“
An experimental artist from Rotterdam, known for her unique approach to graphic design and typography, she creates unexpected outcomes by examining the influence of materials on letters. Using only black and white, she focuses on the form and legibility of the letters. Her project features 26 different letters, each crafted from a different material, giving each one a unique shape and texture. This results in a dynamic visual experience that redefines the essence of typography.
The Lot of Mistakes poster is a bold exploration on typography. Through the skillful use of ink-like techniques, text transforms into a visual element, challenging conventions of legibility and composition. The background, obtained from scanning ink on paper, echoes the typographic theme.The work stands as a personal testing ground for new experiments. It is an invitation to find beauty in something raw and non-canonical.
AUTO is short for automation. Automation is the current level of human evolution. Little robots do repetitive tasks in our daily lives.
The letters with arms and legs represent these little robots, letters living automats.
There’s a saying in Hungarian: „Egy sör, nem sör”. Which translates to something like “One beer, no beer”.
The poster is a reflection on the theme of alcohol and the role it takes in our personal lives and Hungarian culture. I see this work as a definitive step in my personal path on conciously reflecting on, and reframing my relation with alcohol.
Made in relation to the community theatre play called 1,5 ezrelék in Örkény István Theatre, Budapest.
Typographic experiments on the world’s most absolute truth.
EAST is about speculative landscapes, the hauntology of AI-generated, reduced, reshaped images of my home. EAST refers to Eastern Europe, and the letters of the word build up from photos of my surroundings fed to AI. In an attempt at regaining control over these landsapes, I reshaped them into familiar letters which can be understood as an act of reclaiming the meaning of them in the face of the volatility of my memories.
The project presents a non-human perspective on typography: the featured text was found in the wild, and it was carefully created by Ips Typographus, an insect which got its latin name from its calligraphic approach to altering its environment.

The poster for the movie “Burning,” where I created the letters with burnt palm wounds as a metaphor for the scenes from the movie.
MORFO is a font produced by Pépite for its exhibition on generative art that has been shown throughout the year 2024 in Toulouse. The font explores the rastering outline and its potential to evolve. It is a direct reference to the first weaving looms, which is considered as one of the first editing machines in the industrial era. The construction of each letter is like a canvas of dot that evolves, glitching together, challenging the legibility of the structure.
