an ongoing series of small computer programmes,
which range from interactive typefaces to more abstract exploratory environments or
work-in-progress.

'Soon, I began to sense that the computer screen I saw in front of me was somehow different from the
screen I was used to seeing. the strangeness of it was subtle but undeniable.' ('Towards an Uncausal

tate christmas card – my performative typeface reveals textual and ornamental shapes on the
christmas card for tate london. now on sale online and in the tate shops.
In the typeface ‘mingle’, each alphabetic character is cut up in such a way that it mingles, while
typing, with
the subsequent character within a word, forming a new hybrid letterform.
The
typeface explores the choreography of typing as a creative rather than reproductive act. Mingle
combines qualities of asemic writing with a functional typeface. It keeps the reader in a state of
hovering between reading and looking.

Performative Typeface
Analogue sketches for an asemic typeface.
joan miro once said 'i try to apply colours like words that shape poems, like notes that she music'.
how could colour function as written language? where are the limitations of written language?

Agil is a typeface that is responsive to the speed of typing.
Inspired by analogue writing, agil shows a development from static letters to agile,
dynamic forms with increased typing speed. Agil is not a digitalisation of analogue
script, but its curves are based on an analysis of speed in handwriting. The five styles of agil
(nix agil, solala agil, ziemlich agil, voll agil,
and hyper agil) are combined in a text. This project was the winner of the third prize at the
international Designpreis Halle 2017. (Pictures by Felix Rabe)
