“When I first designed the Elephant typeface, I started to do sketches so that a slightly tilted and cut-off gap was made. In particular, I sketched r, a and k, starting with c, but I felt that it was more like a wood-carving souvenir. As soon as I designed e based on the shape of c, I thought that it...

“Pensum, one of my largest font families, started as a contrast exercise during my studies in The Hague at the KABK type media masterclass in 2009. First sketches were based on my brush writing. The exercise included a rough sketch of a possible no-contrast and high-contrast idea. I took all the time I needed to test a lot of details...

Grids and fonts run through the overall exhibition, opening a dialogue between the graphic and object; past and future about chairs....
“For almost all of our designs we’re driven by an interest in how typefaces can be produced and used. Favorit Lining, for example, we came up with when a project needed an Italic but the deadline did not allow us to design one in time. Underlining felt like a valid alternative and this led us to realise that you can...
“Our latest design, PF Marlet, started out by trying to visualize a serif typeface with simpler letterforms, something like a hybrid between a sans and a serif, blending simultaneously traces of fashion and nostalgia. Inspiration came from the roaring ’20s and ’30s, decades that embraced women’s independence both socially and politically. Taking intricate hints from the era, a contemporary dynamic...
This design uses red brick, furnace stone, and sodium silicate material after the removal of the surrounding wall by C-LAB to proposed a landscape installation.
