Body Experimental Type Poster

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.

CLEAR MIRROR ERROR

The poster features a poem by the objectivist poet Louis Zukofsky. The patterning of sound and repetition of the words and letters became the inspiration for the visual language. The meaning of the poem is reflected in the error of the missing glyph “i” in the custom font.

Mirror Art

Sharzadian creates sculptural installations that explore the dynamic interplay between light, reflection, and space. Using mirror fragments and intricate designs, Sharzadian captures and transforms natural light, crafting immersive and reflective environments. Inspired by nature and Persian mirror art traditions, these works invite viewers to engage with their surroundings in new and imaginative ways, fostering a deeper connection to both modernity and the natural world.

Free Palestine

The work “Free Palestine” was created in an attempt to translate the aesthetics of Arabic script and the geometric ornamentation of the Kufiya into a typography that does not copy either in a kitschy form, but rather reflects the essence of both. Form and content were poured into a joint composition that synthesizes protest and graphic work.

women

In my work, I dramatize improving the appearance of women. However, in most cases, patients do not have real aesthetic problems that need to be corrected surgically. Just because they think it’s beautiful, because they don’t like their body. And they go to the cosmetologist for injections and operations. It becomes an addiction.

Sozial-is-muss

Inspired by the geometric clarity of the graphic design of the GDR, the work represents an attempt to translate the old into the new. The play on words “Social-is-muss” translates into both “Socialism” and “Social is a must”. The ornamental structure refers to the elementary simplicity of the message and forms a synthesis of striking conciseness and a form that offers itself to the eye as a rhythmic dance instead of choosing a blatant mode for an otherwise very contentious statement.

HEY Movement Typeface

I designed this innovative typography inspired by our performance HEY at the Melbourne Fringe Festival last year. It explores the concepts of ‘Becoming Water’ and ‘Embodying River’, capturing the fluidity and dynamic nature of movement within the typography itself. The HEY Movement Typeface work transcends traditional typography, using visual rhythm and emotional impact to convey complex ideas and evoke reflection on the transient.

Extended Family

Family, as the foundational institution we all inherently belong to, holds immense symbolic significance. It encapsulates a myriad of diversities, spanning gender, age, race, complexion, size, language, culture, religion, and beliefs. The impact of interconnected families extends to various facets of national life, including patriotism, the preservation of history and culture, economic prosperity, and the strength of diverse institutions.

WT Battleships

WT Battleships is a font-generator based off the popular board game Battleships. The generator takes a font-file and a set of glyphs as an input and generates a set of game boards for the player(s) to solve. The glyphs are randomised in order, so the player does not know which glyph they are trying to “sink”. WT Battleships is ideal as a party game sitting in the corner, allowing all attendees to have an attempt at sinking a glyph, and providing a unique font-file at the end of the night.

ciao

Enjoy my new experimental custom type set named “CIAO”.

It’s not jet an editable Font, anyway every letter is hand made with my Wacom Intuos tablet and powered by the insane real time generation tool in Krea AI.

The entire alphabet is inspired by my own signature style.

Here is the full project. Ciao! 🙂

Scatterplot

Scatterplot is a variable slabserif made out of dots, organised on a geometric structure. The result is a font with a Weight axis is decisively brutalist with dots increasing in diameter – with no optical corrections, while a Random axis spreads the dots randomly across the bounding box, so that the letters are perfectly legible at one end, while they become increasingly illegible in the opposite direction.

abolition of priviliges

“Abolition of privileges” calls for eliminating social advantages. All people should be treated equally. The text was given a 3D look for the poster with rounded edges and light reflections, creating an effect between solid and fluid. Letters were arranged in a circle, starting top left and moving clockwise, to make reading more challenging and extend viewing time. This design encourages viewers to spend more time examining the poster. The color palette is limited to blue and black.

Imagine Peace

The change is palpable not just in the atmosphere but in people’s hearts. Old grievances were set aside, and new friendships were forged. Children play freely in the streets, their laughter echoing through neighborhoods that had forgotten such simple joys.

Susto

Susto’s logo was designed by Maria Helena with a custom typography, which is transformed into different versions, taking on very different textures and expressions between them, such as those assumed by our client’s (a visual artist) work.

It was a trial and error process and a continuous process of refining the shapes until we reached the desired result.

Dreams collage

A tear
Sometimes I read and try to understand
where do the white drops run?
from your fingers
can they get inside?
and burn something valuable…
A yellow garland in the sky seems to
holiday ghost…
But time disappears, fallen
and lonely, the arrows fell off,
demand that they never again..
They didn’t revive…
The ocean is approaching like a shadow
For a forgotten tomorrow…
