Diktgymnasiet is an artist and writer based in Stockholm. Working primarily from bed due to chronic illness (M.E., myalgic encephalomyelitis), they use language as their main material, exploring self-care, chronic illness, and disability justice. The artist remains anonymous as part of a long-term stress-management strategy.

Portrait is an artist book by Diktgymnasiet, designed by Konst & Teknik. The work references (copies) one of the most accessable, familiar and relatable printed matter there is; a simple spiral bound notebook.

The typography combines ABC Walter Alte with Arial Monospaced and OpenDyslexic, thus mixing free and more exclusive typefaces to reflect questions of access, value, and distribution within publishing. They also just look great together.

LifeInOneRoom.com is a digital publication where the artist continuously shares fragments of their practice online, piece by piece, according to daily capacity and energy. The title refers to the apartment the artist is rarely able to leave. Accessibility is central to the site’s design: texts can be read aloud through an auto-reading function using randomly generated voices, the platform is RSS compatible, and it uses the typeface OpenDyslexic, developed specifically to support readers with dyslexia.

Both works are part of CRIP, a project that investigates how art institutions can sustainably collaborate with chronically ill and disabled artists while developing care-based production methods.

As part of the launch and Diktgymnasiet’s exhibition at Konstfrämjandet in Stockholm, T-shirts and a campaign for SoMe was launched, mixing the fonts used into a tour T-shirt with the three launch stops in 2025.

Marzia Migliora’s works provide a critical representation of the consequences that an economy based on fossil fuels is having on the planet, showing how humanity’s drive for progress has a direct impact on today’s compromised ecosystems. The environmental sound installation Partitura multispecie andante – created in collaboration with the historic Roman studio of sound effects for cinema, Marinelli Effetti Sonori – consists of a soundtrack of the various sections that make up the paleontological and litho-mineralogical collections of ISPRA (Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale) (Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research).

Act ① of Partitura multispecie andante (Andante Multispecies Score) was performed on December 14, 2022, at the MUCIV (Museo delle Civiltà), with sound effects by Marinelli Effetti Sonori Srl. The performance was made possible thanks to funding from Sector VI of the Ministry of Culture.

The vinyl records were cut by Vinylab Studio in an edition of ninety copies plus nine artist’s proofs. The typography uses ABC Walter Neue throughout.

Grüne Dächer. Geschichte, Planung, Gestaltung presents sixteen pioneering green roof projects across Switzerland as a cohesive dossier, combining architectural cross-sections with ecological research to create an accessible atlas of sustainable urban habitats. Authored by Jonas Frei and published by Edition Hochparterre in Zürich with Stephan Brenneisen (ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences). The book was designed by Upset in collaboration with Valentin Hindermann. The cover features embossed black foil, and the publication is produced using Swiss brochure binding, giving it a tangible, dossier-like presence.

Typography is set in ABC Walter Neue, designed by Dinamo in collaboration with Omnigroup. For this project, Upset customized the typeface with squared dots on select characters—an adaptation realized with permission from Dinamo—giving the atlas a distinctive typographic voice while maintaining the structural clarity of Walter’s design.

settantaventidue is a cultural hub dedicated to contemporary arts, sound arts, architecture, design, radical thinking and visual culture. It was founded by Alessandro Scotti and Daniel Marzona in Milano, in November 2024.

Tomo Tomo designed the identity of the space and all the printed and digital materials, working with the limited budget as a design asset. They used only black and white and one typeface family, ABC Walter Alte.

For each exhibition or performance, a printed publication is produced. It serves as a record of the event and a collector's item that conveys the vision of the featured artist through its form and layout.

After the long anticipated font update from v0.1 to v0.2, Harald Peter Ström could finally add a CV to his personal website. Before that, the designer of Konst & Teknik used Electric Blue only on his front page. He requested the urgently needed diacritics on Future Fonts right after the release of version 0.1. “Guuuuys, i love this so much but my name doesnt work properly… any chance of a scandi version soon featuring åäö ÅÄÖ ? /peter stroem”

Font Spectrum’s Daniël Maarleveld and Edgar Walthert just have been really busy with other thing to finish the entire set of accents. Just dropping a few Middle European ones, as a patch, did not seem right for everyone else.

Recently, Harald Peter Ström added an animated loader to his CV page which makes use of the transforming abilities of variable fonts. The loader revolves through the weights in a wave motion.

The Index and Work pages use Weiß-Antiqua for everything. The bouncing “2025” device that references the iconic DVD logo screensaver has numerals from ABC Walter Neue.

When entering the website, all the pills rotate before they find their horizontal position. The background color changes according to the width of the browser window. If one does note interact with the page, everything gets blurry.

The animated GIF was made with a QuickTime screen grab and then made into a GIF with the help of ezgif.com

CV page of Peter Ström, entirely set in Electric Blue. The bottom of the page is faded out and gets thicker on scroll – one of the advantages of variable fonts.

The index with Harald Peter Ström’s work features Weiß-Antiqua (URW’s digitization).

Another sub-url called work.peter.stream. Weiß-Antiqua is one of the classic typefaces that still looks en vogue thanks to its slightly eccentric details.

Footnotes issue E front cover

Footnotes is a type design periodical published biennially by La Police. The fifth issue opens with an article by Florian Hardwig on Permanent drawn by Karlgeorg Hoefer, a seemingly-forgotten German Grotesk that designers worldwide have studied-by-drawing off-grid.

Thanks to Sébastien Morlighem, we're now well aware that Pierre-Louis Vafflard cut types for the Didot dynasty, beautiful ones.

The third essay, from the One-off series – contextual type projects from graphic designers – sheds some light on the Belgian figure of Fernand Baudin through a digital re-enactment of his many (hand)writings by Coline Sunier & Charles Mazé.

The last contribution overlaps theory with practise, past with present. A designer’s journey, from the educational binder of Swiss teacher Walter Käch full of lessons to digital redrawings of his template letterforms by Dinamo and Omnigroup (ABC Walter Neue and ABC Walter Alte).

To conclude, the traditional last page entitled Proofs showcases in-progress typefaces from the contributors: Mercator (Laurenz Brunner), Zero, Ninety, Linus (Charles Mazé), LP Jung, Olympia Manuscript No. 4 (Mathieu Christe), Walter Compressed, Slab, Mono (Dinamo, Omnigroup), and Didot Vafflard and Vafflard (Dávid Molnár).

As with every issue, each article is typeset with the related typeface(s), some in-progress and unreleased. The generous iconography also tries to pleasantly surprise the reader with unpublished material.

Under the theme of “Imagine Democratic Regeneration”, this yearbook explores a diverse range of artistic visions and interdisciplinary approaches on the future of liberal democracy and the democratic design of a regenerative way of life and economic culture in the age of artificial intelligence. It was published by the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs – Directorate General for International Cultural Relations, Vienna 2024. The bilingual publication (German and English) is available for download from the Ministry’s website.

Steiner Architecture is a young firm based in Vienna and Zell am See and expertly run by Florian Oberschneider and Ferdi Porsche.

Amongst the usual letterhead, envelopes, vcards and website, the identity includes a publication design for an ongoing magazine in newspaper format – sent out to the firms friends and clients – dealing with architecture and urbanism on a theoretical yet playful level.

The publication Experimental Re(é)[flex|ct|ion] presents the results of research projects developed by participants in the first edition of the Artistic Research Lab at Casino Display.

Guided by their desire to destabilise and question the constraints they encountered, and strengthened by the discussions that took place over three weeks of in situ research, the book presents work resulting from experiments around the concepts of community, uncertainty, resistance, hybridity, preconceived expectations, movement and alternative.

The publication features a coloured edge, open stitch binding and hot foil press on the cover. Dinamo’s ABC Walter Neue is used for titling and on the cover, accompanied by Out of the Dark’s Remix A for body copy.

Detail of the embossed business cards

Christian and Daniela Gerges run a medical practice in the south of Austria. Inspired by their indulgence for art, we developed an identity that is loosely inspired by art.

We chose a pattern similar to the well-known art folder designs, and deliberately transferred this connotation into the medical context. Together, the two doctors offer a wide range of medical services—from infectiology and nephrology to cardiology—so we edited and designed a folded brochure to provide the most important patient information at a glance.

Walter Neue is a special typeface by Dinamo and Omnigroup, which is a digitization of various old sources. For this project, we were looking for an unobtrusive, yet distinctive typeface, which would allow us to add a playful, but important detail: since Christian and Daniela Gerges are both representing the brand with their respective areas of expertise, we wanted to give their individual “GERGES” a subtly different appearance. Thus, you can notice two alternatives of the R in the logotype.

Through intensive research, we found the right paper stock to design embossed business cards, which were produced by print specialists Herz & Co in Vienna. The two doctors could choose their favorite color from a curated palette that we selected for their brand Gerges Gerges. The stationery, as a paraphrase of the white cube, provides a minimalist background for the colorful elements of the corporate design.

Works of art in medical practices are often of dubious quality and rarely match the visual identity. From the very beginning, we have embraced the artworks on-site as part of the concept and have therefore created a limited series of large format screenprints (printed by Print Affaires), which add to the atmosphere in the practice whilst serving as a recognizable brand element.
