Crack is a typeface developed since November 2025 at HEAD–Geneva, alongside CrackHead Football Collectif, a self-initiated, amateur and mixed student football collective. Built entirely without curves, its rigid, angular forms deliberately break with the visual conventions of football typography. Used on jerseys and communication materials, Crack questions football’s commodification and consumerist codes, reclaiming the sport as a collective and non-commercial space.
Schwalbe, Vol. 1
Kill Bill and the football schwalbe seem worlds apart, yet both stage exaggerated drama for effect. This project explores that unexpected common ground: theatrical suffering as spectacle. Through visual experimentation, close-up portraits merge stills from Tarantino’s Kill Bill with photographs of football players mid-fall, blurring cinematic violence and sporting performance into a single, tension-charged image — where pain becomes choreography.

Domino
A simple twist on the traditional game of Dominoes – replacing the dots with coloured squares. We wanted to engage designers with the form, texture and tactility of real paper and print. We wanted to encourage physical play in a digital world. The Domino logotype replaces the O’s with squares to echo the card format.

8x8Type
8×8 is a typographic project exploring how a familiar system can be reconfigured through type, structure and play. Using the 64-square chessboard as a starting point, Studio Sutherl& developed a series of variations that challenge how the grid can be seen, read and used. The project explores the space between typography and chess, turning a fixed structure into something fluid and unexpected.
AB RA ZO
ABRAZO is a film about an amateur tango club in Folkestone, exploring connection, duality and the relationships formed through movement. The identity reflects this idea through letterforms that embrace and intertwine, creating three distinct ligatures: AB, RA and ZO.
Film by James Poole, Angus Sung and Tom Ip
Notation Rotation
Studio Sutherl& began playing chess over Zoom during the Covid-19 lockdown using chess notation, which describes the name of the piece being moved and the square it’s moving to – for example, Bishop C8 to F5. “As inexperienced players we didn’t know the squares, so used written prompts on the board itself,” says the studio. “We then discussed producing a board where the A-G and 1-9 were intrinsic to the squares themselves. The lettering literally forms the chessboard.”

A typographic football scarf created for the launch of SZCZĘSNY, an Amazon Prime Video documentary charting Wojciech Szczęsny’s incredible career, from Arsenal to Barcelona. A variable typographic system expands and contracts like a goalkeeper filling the net, he italicised ‘Y’ nods to him diving to make a save, frozen in typographic form.
SZCZĘSNY
Visual identity and motion graphics for SZCZĘSNY, an Amazon Prime Video documentary charting Wojciech Szczęsny’s career. A variable typographic system expands and contracts like a goalkeeper filling the net, with match data woven into the narrative.
SZCZĘSNY
Inspired by Szczęsny’s physical ability to fill the net, the typographic framework utilises Podium, a variable typeface from Polish foundry Warsaw Capitalics. The type expands, compresses, and shifts in weight to fill the frame, adapting dynamically to display match locations, key milestones, and title cards. Within the wordmark, the italicised ‘Y’ nods to him diving to make a save, frozen in typographic form.

Lingo
Imagine a library. Sealed-in quiet, walls thick as dictionaries. But that’s not why you’re here — you’re at the computer, navigating to your personal linguistic authority: Urban Dictionary. Feverishly typing in the word on your mind since it left your crush’s lips in math class: turnt.
A thrill washes over you. Not just the definition, but the sight of it: turnt, turned from spoken to serif. Dignified. Elevated. To see slang suited up feels almost subversive. And just right.
That’s where Softdrive’s new typeface, Lingo, comes from. Timeless elegance meets current trend, intellectual authority meets the people’s slang. Lingo is both a workhorse, trotting along in body copy, and a show pony, shining in display.
This serif respects classical typographic tradition… until it doesn’t. Lingo hails from the 18th century, inspired by the transitional romans of William Caslon, John Baskerville and Louis Simonneau’s Romain du Roi — old-world elegance, low stroke contrast, the warmth of letterpress. Check out that little g, the f and a: punchy drops give drama and personality, with alternates on hand when pure legibility is the goal.
By including letterforms from the International Phonetic Alphabet, offered as ten stylistic sets swapping classic for phonetic characters, Lingo invites writers and designers to get funky. Twelve styles in total, six weights plus true italics, even italicised IPA. A typeface that looks toward the future of language — and invites you to help shape it.

After READ 2026
The After Read event brought together students from art and design schools across several cities in France for a football tournament in Amiens.
The event provided an opportunity for students from different schools to meet, exchange ideas, and connect through a shared sporting experience.

Shooting Range Font
This project focuses more on the process of ‘Typing’ rather than the static ‘Visual Presentation’ of the font. The act of typing is used to simulate several aspects of shooting, like bullet, target and ejecting port. This display font serves as an interactive tool or method, much like a poster that stands as an independent conceptual piece. Therefore, in this font, I hope to emphasize concept and fun over readability.
