My world revolves around letters of all shapes and sizes, in all mediums and colours. Attracted to everything related to typography, from typefaces and logos to murals and calligraphy, I constantly challenge myself to work with different materials, scales and styles.

Tipoesie

Concrete poems are compositions of words and letters where its graphical dimension plays a central role in both design and meaning. While looking at Jérôme Peignot’s book, ‘Typoesie’, I could only see the motion imprinted in those poems. I set the challenge to myself to re-invent the compositions but this time exploring them with animation.
