About the project

An experiment in mixing typography and collage.

I have always liked the Swiss style: clean, easy to read and neutral, with asymmetrical typography, a systematic grid and sans-serif type. It is an efficient expression of modernism.

But looking at the same thing for a long time is tiring, and Swiss style can feel overly rational and mechanical. So I tried a look closer to Wolfgang Weingart’s: a little grunge, still built on a grid, but unruly and slightly aggressive.
