Langnau Jazz Nights
Poster proposal
F4
November 2022
Langnau Jazz Nights is an annual jazz festival in Emmental, Switzerland. This poster proposal reflects the way music occupies space,
with vibrations that are both perceptible and visible. The background and typeface interact and vibrate, much like jazz takes us on a journey. The
individually designed Langnau Mono font, in a round cut, symbolically transitions to the next tone, further referencing jazz music's character. The color
scheme, inspired by dim and smoky jazz venues, adds to the atmosphere.

The Hanged Man
Signs and Symbols
A5; 24p.
April 2022
Everyone experiences emotional pain, or lack of it, in a different way. In the poem 'The Hanged Man'
by Will Harris, the protagonist has lost his passion for life and, somewhere along the way,
his sense of control. In the creative process of designing symbols for this poem, I looked for a method that would make me lose control - water. Try as
you might, water has a mind of its own. The symbols were created by letting the water find the shapes and capturing them with a scanner.

Milchprodukte
Information Design
1920 x 1080px, 30''
June 2022
Over the course of a year, I analysed and evaluated my household's dairy consumption. Milk is a standard product, so it should
have a fixed cost in all stores, right? The project highlights the price difference of dairy products and their vegan alternatives between three Swiss
supermarkets in June 2022, raising awareness of dairy consumption and its costs.

Langnau Mono
Typedesign
1000 units
November 2022
Created specifically for the poster proposal for Langnau Jazz Nights, this typeface is based on a strict set of rules. The font has a rounded shape,
but still has a rigidity in its overall appearance based on the shape of the glyphs. These rules led to a playful approach in the construction of several
symbols. Essentially, the typeface was inspired by the improvisation of jazz music, with its playful variations, all based on a general theme.

Werenbach, a Swiss watchmaker, uses genuine rocket booster material for the production of his watch dials, making each piece

Its purpose is to fully immerse you in the experience of wearing one of these watches.

Zainer
Typedesign
1000 units
December 2022
This typeface was inspired by Günther Zainer's Gotico-Antiqua from 1468 and was created in collaboration with Ylenia
Freiermuth. Fascinated by the unique shapes of various letters, especially the lowercase 'a', we wanted to modernise the typeface to make it
more legible, while preserving the distinctive shapes of the original. Eliminating the axis found in the original typeface in all letters except
the 'o' resulted in a modern, cohesive typeface. By implementing the use of stylistic sets, the user has the ability to change the letters to
their liking, further modernising Zainer.

Pekura
Typedesign
1000 units
May 2022
It all started with a fruit logo on transport packaging from China. While unable to understand the message, Ylenia
Freiermuth and I were able to concentrate on the modular shapes of the typography. What would happen if these forms were rearranged in a
language we understood? Pekura was born: a back-slanted bold typeface.

Mind the Gap
Animation
1'' 14'
March 2022
In written German, when trying to be gender inclusive, punctuation marks are used to differentiate between the
root word and the feminine ending. Keeping this animation very abstract, I focused on animating these punctuation marks. The video does
not have a clear specific message, but makes you aware of these characters that we so often read but our eyes ignore. Please keep the
gap in mind while watching.
