A few words about my practice:

Since 2018, I have been exploring the evolving landscapes of contemporary type design. Typography is deeply rooted in history, carrying traces of the past that I strive to uncover through forgotten letterforms. In my revival works, I foster aesthetics and creative connections (mashup/remix/hybrid) over strict historical fidelity & faithfulness. While I have stepped away from graphic design for a time, I continue to contribute to various projects, primarily through typographic-based and vectorial assets.

Currently, I am developing an extensive catalogue of new typefaces—a collection of letters that merge into visual expressions. At the core of my practice is the idea that typography can speak for itself, beyond words. I aim to cultivate diverse voices and attitudes in my designs, moving beyond medieval fantasy and experimental display typography to explore more organic and consistent forms. I am still in search of "The living curves" and might publish something soon in the spirit of The Tale of Type.
