Last year during my internship at a stone masonry I wanted to learn stone carving. This project is the result of a six month practising two days a week. After many failures, broken chunks and exhausted hands I must say that I’m very satisfied with this result. In this design I wanted to challenge myself to carve the very odd corners and serifs that looks perfect on digital screen. Hoping it to look good on stone as well.
There’s a tradition since 1917 where Dutch designers create posters for the anual Jaarbeurs Utrecht events.
To celebrate the doors being opened again after the measures have been lowered, Jaarbeurs challenged the students of the HKU (Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht) to create a poster for the re-opening of their events.

These are typographic logo’s where I study all the shapes and possibilities of a letter. Sometimes legible and sometimes not. The words are given bij my friends to challenge me in making a typographic logo of their words or names. Trying to inherent their personality into the style of a custom logo. Everything is custom made, no existing typefaces.
Salon is a platform for and by students of HKU Media - expo’s, lectures, workshops and discussions in which exchange with others is the main goal.
HKU Feesten is a non-profit organization which focusses on the talent that all the amazing schools of HKU have to offer. Enhancing creativity, by connecting artists with public and cultural organizations.
Ongoing collaboration where typography meets fashion.

During the pandemic of covid-19 in sprint 2020 we were all being stuck in home-isolation. While the city streets remain empty, the countryside became more crowded by new visitors. Especially the long road in front of my home. A message is painted on this road to simply remind them again how beautiful nature is.
Glyphs that died for our Latin script

A one week workshop given by S†ëfan Schäfer︎︎︎ about death anthropology and design resulted in a visual research of ancient glyphs that died for our latin language.
I’ve digitalized 50 glyphs from a language that died a long time ago. (old Slavic and old Greek). Most of the characters developed to latin or cyrillic script but its original form can’t be found in modern alphabets anymore.

The amount of passengers in Utrecht Central grows fast. The old station was made for 35 million travelers each year. Currently the new station comes across 88 million travelers and this amount keeps growing in the future expecting it to have 100 million passengers in 2030.
This study has been done on an experimental level where I observed human movements and their navigating behaviour in public spaces. Watching people, describing their behaviour and also walking straight into their path tying to collide into the passangers on purpose.
Does architecture shape our human navigation or does our navigation impact the way we build roads/architectural constructs?

Hackon is an aggressive italic display typeface with pointy backwards serifs on the bottom. These unusual serif shapes have been established during my own little stone carving experience with an internship at a stonemasonry. A project that started as a fun experiment and exploration on real stone materials got translated into a fully working typeface. Hackon works best for a bigger purpose since it has a lot of details. Make sure to turn on ligatures since it has 17 of them.
Saku is initialy designed to be used on gravestones. Giving names a warm & friendly feeling on the cold stone materials. The sharp serifs that appears often on gravestone typography have been transformed to a softer and a friendlier look.
These characteristics together with the combination of a capital next to a lowercase makes Saku also ideal for other decorative uses.
In Mycela, the notion of beautiful doesn’t lie on a single character as an individual, but more on a combination of characters that make it beautiful together. Mycela gets her name from Mycelium which is the vegetative part of a fungus or fungus-like bacterial colony, consisting of branching thread-like hyphae. It can either appear so tiny that it can’t be seen or grow thousands of acres big. Similar to this fungus, in this typeface you can make words grow in an infinite amount of characters and still have it connected.
Oldenorth is a typeface that focusses on legibility from a middistance while also adding a unique decorative characterism to it: Low Cap-Height, flat surface on each glyph and a few unique glyph designs(m,k). Oldenorth also combines round shapes with sharp strokes and sharp endings, making it both dangerous but also elegantin its total.
Gruwel represents the raw and sharp aestethic of my personality. Crafted while listening to the most grimy and darkest techno out there. The font has sharp edges which can be seen as sharp fangs from killer animals, hence the name ‘Gruwel’ which is a Dutch word for ‘Horror’.
