GP DP 01
Ist Gestaltung Haltung? Is design attitude?
February 2021
Edition of 30
180 x 250 mm
The bilingual publication GP DP 01 is giving nine different positions towards graphic design and typography. Based on Helmut Schmid‘s essay "gestaltung ist haltung; design is attitude" this book is presenting positions from the likes of Emil Ruder, Josef Müller-Brockmann and more historic positions. To bring it into the contemporary context I could get in touch with Radim Peško, Harsh Patel, Vela Arbutina, Peter Saville and Bernd Kuchenbeiser. The result is a collection of conversations and essays which give the reader an insight into the different possibilities of ones practice.

ZINCO
Display Typeface
2018
Font in use:
SUPER Magazine by Bureau Borsche / Mirko Borsche
Zinco is the modular revival of a display font by Franco Grignani, which he used in a poster in 1960. Based on the original letters I developed a display typeface. The letters develop out of a rectangle where they get shaped through curves to become letters. The typeface seemed to be the foundation for an interesting cut-out concept which eventually lead to the development of a whole variable typeface.
