Future Viewfinder is a self-awareness tool for creative direction – designed to inspire you to “put your passions in places where you want to be.” This phrase, first written in my journal, has been my guiding mantra since early 2022. It reminds me – and now invites you – to seek out spaces that celebrate and elevate your unique passions.

The main card of the interactive print piece acts as a viewfinder – its die-cut, pixellated envelope design (linked to my monogram logo) invites you to press, push, and peek into your future.

I carefully selected typefaces that bring personality to the piece while dynamically filling the negative space of the die-cut. From a heavily condensed Grandmaster to the wide proportions of Afronaut. Their placement reinforces the project’s sense of movement and direction – shifting and changing as you engage with it.

Uplifting oranges, dreamy pinks and purples, and a hint of transformational teal – sourced from GF Smith Colorplan Papers – infuse the work with vibrant, forward-thinking energy.

Vertigo is the second EP record by Korean producer Panda Gomm (판다곰). The album was released both on music platforms, and as a compact disc. Designed by STUDIO DUGGUBI(스튜디오두꺼비)

The typography pairs Nostra Stream for the album title with Lyyra, used for additional information. The typeface used for information in Korean is Pretendard.

For her portfolio website, artist Taru Happonen uses Lyyra Expanded. Initially released with upright styles only, Italics were added to Lyyra in September 2020.

When viewed on a device with a smaller screen, the menu is hidden and can be revealed by clicking a stylised drawing.

Util is a Lisbon-based brand, offering contemporary and understated designer furniture that is “internationally designed and locally produced.”

On their website, the collection is presented in a webshop, with downloadable product sheets, installation instructions and CAD-drawings. The atmosphere of the brand is conveyed with photo series of furniture in home settings, of the designers in their workplace, and by presenting clients in their own homes.

The typography deploys all three widths of Lyyra by Schick Toikka: Standard, Expanded and Extended. Lyyra’s angular shapes echo the shapes of Util’s collection, and add some funk to the clean design of the online store.

The Party by Ostbahnhof is an international event series that bridges the gap between queer, music, art, and political communities.

What’s my New Years resolution you ask? Be. More.
VERS

The sexy new spinoff where “Anything Goes” is back this Friday, January 10th. The producers of Ostbahnhof bring the weird, wild, and wonder of the warehouse to Precinct in Downtown LA.

The typography of this latest poster in an ongoing series brings together several of the fonts already used in previous editions. New to the mix is FH Giselle, designed by Fatih Hardal​​​​​​​ and released in September 2019. The sans with the extrathin horizontals in the uppercase is used for the R in “VERS”, alongside Lÿno Jean (V) and Ulys (E) as well as Harbour (S). In further prominent roles: Respira Black in all caps for “Anything Goes”, Roslindale for venue and date, and Beatrice Display for the rotated instance of “The Party by Ostbahnhof” at the right.

The holidays can be sweet, but we’re getting spooky. Friday the 13th things get unlucky. It’s time to mix misfortune with mischief at VERS: Anything Goes.

The Party by Ostbahnhof is an international event series that bridges the gap between queer, music, art, and political communities. This latest poster in an ongoing series pairs a number of fonts that were used before, and adds some new type to the mix: Lyyra by Schick Toikka is used for the rotated type on the right hand of the poster, and the caps in the right hand corner; VERS is set in Parabole, designed by David Molnár at ECAL and available via ECAL Typefaces; Connary Fagen’s Roxborough is used for “The Party By Ostbahnhof”.
