Experimental typography made using the reaction between ferrofluid and neodymium magnets for Stefan Sagmeister’s class “Can Design Touch Someone’s Heart” at School of Visual Arts MFA Design Department.
Tag line of the assignement is “A Thing I Have Learned in My Life So Far”.
The work is a text and math game centered on Experimental Type, aiming to visually depict today’s communication gaps. In a room, nine objects serve as the dialogue’s protagonists. The letters of “EXCHANGED,” crafted and hidden, correspond to the nine objects spatially. Each letter’s form is taken from different classic typefaces. Viewers decode hidden connections across screens to reveal “Exchanged,” the puzzle’s answer and the work’s title, reflecting fragmented modern conversations.
Laxis is a lexical-axis variable font designed for artist Elizabeth Lee’s website (coded by OKOK Services). Formed by a system of 4 circles and 8 squares moving on a 7 × 12 line grid, the font contains basic alphabet, numerals, and punctuations lexically sorted into one glyph in a continuous interpolation, through variable font axes.
Between all the recognisable letters are non-letters, not-yet words, meanings that never arrived.
This poster was created for the play ‘Paper Swans.’ The lettering represents the main character’s experiences of trauma and oppression.
This poster was created for the play ‘Lady ADHD,’ a one-person show that combines stand-up comedy with commentary on the author’s life with ADHD.
This poster was created for the play ‘The Little Foxes,’ a classic drama known for its intricate, interconnected themes.
The play is entirely improvised by the viewers, so the idea behind the poster was to mimic improvisation by using the handwritten letter “a” and adding the copy around it as if one thing were tagging another.
The idea behind the poster was to portray Sophocles’ tragedy with straightforward typography, simple forms, and a black-and-white color palette. I wanted to show tension, duality, and how the past affects the present.
I wanted to express the complexity and drama of the story behind Tess’s play interpretation using the physical language of circus by combining handwriting with shapes.
The concept of this poster is to represent a celebration of the shifting galvanized rugby community by the first women players. I used bright colors, brutal disjoined lettering, and cramped composition to show that this story is more than it seems.
It is a play about chicken with a rags-to-riches tale outline. I used chicken combs to create the word “Chicken”, in my view, they represent the superficiality of desires in our materialistic world.
My aim in this poster was to communicate through the “foil lettering” the word WAKO. I wanted to represent the feeling of Nordic jazz through lettering using foil and pencil.
In this chaotic world, amidst the noise and dark nights, I found you.
You, my muse, my salvation and my favorite typo.
Our love, like a dog-eared page in a forgotten book, is both tender
and raw. So let’s write our own story, ink bleeding into passion and
into constellations, leaving it scattered across the universe.

The name ‘Raiola,’ meaning ‘sunbeam or sunny interludes on a rainy day’ in Galician, it’s the perfect name for the artisanal jam brand Raiola. The labels feature different drawings and shadows, resembling the patterns and forms projected throughout a room as the sun rises. The typography is an exploration of this shadows created when the first warm rays of light peek through the blinds.
To celebrate the 125th anniversary of the publication of the ‘Kelmscott Chaucer’, The William Morris Society reached out to contemporary letterpress printers inviting them to reimagine and print a short extract from the original book. The extract was ‘Google translated’ using every language available in Google Translate. From English to Afrikaans, from Afrikaans to Albanian, and so on in alphabetical order, and from Zulu to English again. The original excerpt is printed under the ‘translation’.
32 Typeface is a visual experiment game that combines Buddhism philosophy with typography as its core concept. In this experiment, Type and Face are the main characters that embark on a journey through the 32 chapters of the Diamond Sutra. The experiment utilizes the “self” to control the style changes of the “type”, which emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and self-discovery in achieving enlightenment.
Glossa draws inspiration from the Greek term for “language,” encapsulating the sensory experience of taste, scent, and sound. The packaging design for the mini wine collection seamlessly integrates with the melodic essence of music, embracing the iconic round record label revered by aficionados worldwide. Matching classical wines with timeless music genres like blues, jazz, and latin beats, along with gourmet cuisine, creates lasting memories.
Elektor Pattern System is an experimental tool in form of a font. Elektor works as a pattern language that originated from deconstructed image processing experiment. Its foundation consists of various illustrations of digital circuits recovered from hobbyist magazines from the 70s-90s rotting in the digital archives. I pixelated them and set together as a font. It comes in two styles – Regular & Round. This way they become a language that may be used as a system for creating pixel patterns.
My works are mostly concerned with western font design and combined with Chinese culture’s spirit. I spent my childhood in a peaceful area in the embrace of mountains and rivers. So it makes me rethink what an ideal living environment for a human being is like. I think the mountain and body are a perfect metaphor with which we can explore many topics in artistic and profound ways.
The body experimental typeface is about the body movement. What this projcect want to explore is not only the physical body. but also the visual body. The body can be the design of text, the design of types, and more experimental visual direction.

Exploring the dynamic vision of the types, capture the structural relationship between the types, grasp the emotional focus of the type, and try more experimental designs. Try more cross-border cooperation.
Introducing the HEY Movement Performance Light series, a cutting-edge typographic design inspired by the fluidity and motion of water and rivers. This series captures the essence of continuous change and dynamic flow, creating a visual representation of movement that is both elegant and powerful.
