Super Büro für Gestaltung has designed the website for Kaufmann B Baumanagement, a construction management company with offices in Reuthe and Dornbirn, Austria.

The typeface used is the Book weight of Store Norske Ja, from Skriftkompani.

Nuances is a playful yet serious compendium of answers to big climate questions regarding the protection of forests, indigenous people, technology and food and other related matter. The book, written by Nurit Bensusan and illustrated by Cairo Ayres and Francisco Bronze from É Grande Circular was published by Editor Mil Folhas.

The illustration style is well matched with the smoothness of Manteiga. Body copy uses Swear Text, a typeface that carries the same witty spirit of both the headline face and illustration styles.

The infographic look makes it easy for the readers to make their own path throughout the pages.

Words from the publishing house Onomatopee:

This book is an artist’s guide to copyright, written for makers. Both practical and critical, this book will guide you through the concepts underlying copyright and how they apply in your practice.

Titles and footnotes are set in Glacial Indifference, and body text in Charis SIL, both free and open source typefaces.

In 2006, SIL International developed Charis SIL that supports over 2,300 characters from the Unicode standard, including Latin and Cyrillic scripts. Their shapes are based on Bitstream Charter, a typeface designed by Matthew Carter in 1987, itself based on Pierre-Simon Fournier’s characters from the 18th century.

Census is about data, an operational analytics platform that syncs warehouse data with all daily workflow apps. Designer Matt Yow joined the startup to take care of the rebranding:

Our brand typography is set exclusively in Gratimo Classic, a font family designed by TypeMates. Gratimo Classic is professionally geometric (near perfectly circular o) and personally humanist in its construction and feel (which means it loosely follows calligraphic hand lettering). Letterforms are drawn from simple, elemental standards while having a unique and identifiable visual tone.

The weights are clean and easy to maneuver—easily combining for the headline, subhead, and small text settings. This font was a great match for the simplicity and cleanliness we set out to design with our rebooted logo.

Furthermore, Matt wanted to emphrase the human aspect and choose the alternate double-storey lowercase g as a default in this first, pre-release usage:

Working with TypeMates, we customized the lowercase “g” to change the entire texture of the font. This small tweak more perfectly aligned the font with our DNA as a data-driven, trustworthy brand while still coming across bold and expressive. The sans serif is a classic, familiar favorite, but still unique and identifiable.

Default g compared to customized double-storey variant, changing the entire texture of the typeface.

The Department of Digital Remains is a fictional federal agency that keeps a tab on all your virtual actions which will determine your fate in the digital afterlife. This is my thesis project for the Maryland Institute College of Art.

In an age of immortal digital presences, this is a speculative look at what happens to our online selves after we die. This project uses design fiction to examine digital lives through the lens of digital death while trying to answer the question: If we have found ways to treat physical remains of the departed with dignity, why not digital remains?

To create a visual language of a future bureaucracy, the choice of typefaces were IBM Plex Sans and IBM Plex Mono. The variable fonts Bandeins Strange and Bandeins Sans were added to bring in to humanize and complement the automated feel of the IBM Plex family.

Saturn is a German chain of electronics stores, found in several European countries. The printed edition of its tech and entertainment-focussed magazine TURN ON got redesigned: Since issue 1/2020, the new layout and art direction of Hamburg-based twotype is in use.

Every two months, around 60 pages of infotainment on the fields of technology, games, films and series, music and smart home and is available free of charge to Saturn customers in all stores.

The typographic canon of art director Juliane Kess is quite organized and clear: Cera Condensed defines the headlines. The more common balanced Cera Compact is used for introductory text and some longer sections. Most text is set in Harrison Serif, with supplemental information in Harrison’s italics. Last but not least Drone Ranger is used for the figures: listings, pagination, and structuring of the chapters.

Ingrid Bourgault, a Brussels-based graphic designer and typographer is the founder of the publishing house DuCosmos, focused on the publication of design books on popular science. With Stuart, a typeface created by Matthieu Cortat, she designed this silkscreened box that contains hand-bound books, under envelopes. The content of this box is intended to equip the reader so that she or he can articulate, on the basis of scientific reasoning, an opinion on the questions raised by the anthropic principle.

The typeface used on the title page and for headings is Asul.

The sans serif used for chapter openings, page numbers, marginal notes and footnotes is Larsseit.

The INS (Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service) asked us to make a visual comment on their work.

We found that all of the stories surrounding the INS are incredibly ambiguous. Every step of the process that asylum seekers have to go through can be emblazoned and criticised. There is no perfect way of doing what the INS is tasked to do.

Instead of picking a side, we decided to visualise the process that an asylum seeker has to go through, as objectively as possible. This is how far we got within the given time, the process is even more complicated in reality.
