We also enjoy working on custom typefaces or customizing our existing ones to your special needs. Here you can find an overview of some of them, done for museums and other cultural institutions. We will soon provide you with more in-depth case studies.

HFMDK (2022)

A custom typeface for the rebranding of the University of Music and Performing Arts Frankfurt (HfMDK). The typeface also serves as a logo for the school. Rooted in a low-contrast grotesque, the design merges a geometric foundation with precise technical details. The display cut includes a distinctive stylistic set that randomly removes parts of certain letters, creating a rhythmic and dynamic visual effect.

Commissioned by Berlin-based studio S-T-A-T-E.
reboot:responsiveness (2022)

A family of typefaces for reboot:responsiveness. a collaborative, multi-cycle initiative initiated by Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne, and Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst, Aachen. Building upon the foundation of system fonts like Times, Arial, and Courier the design concept involves creating a custom set of typefaces that blends hand-drawn and computer-generated elements. This approach combines the human touch of manual writing with the process of computer generation, resulting in a unique and distinctive look.

Type face concept in collaboration with Sean Yendrys, who also did the design.
Tiscar Espadas (2023)
A custom lettering system for the Spanish fashion brand Tíscar Espadas. It was made for their Capítulo IV collection, shaping the visual identity of the show, campaign, and look book. It consists of an intricate calligraphic script that could soon be turned into a full-fledged ligature-rich typeface.
Lohmann (2022)

A typeface for the Zurich-based industrial design and scenography studio Atelier Lomann. The modular feel and construction of the letters is influenced by the products developed inside the studio. Alongside the typeface we developed a wide range of symbols that allow an iconographic classification of their projects.

Developed as part of its rebranding in collaboration with Jahn Koutrios.
ConstructLab (2020)
A custom stencil typeface for a publication and shirt by ConstructLab, a transnational network engaging with communities through architecture and design. This mono-spaced typeface was made for a modular, laser-cut connector, designed to be able to take down and reassemble temporary structures.
Honey (2024)
A rounded sans-serif typeface currently in development. G2 Honey is inspired by the latin alphabets of CJK fonts, the spacing and rhythm of poetry, punctuation marks that take up (too) much space, typewriter fonts and fonts for technical drawing tools. Here in its first use by Hannah Sakai for “Club Liason” by Liesl Raff at the 2024 Gwangju Biennale and in a catalogue published by Distanz Verlag. Also in use for an invitation with Jonathan Blaschke and Neele Seidel for Spare Wheel, Brussels. Email us for trials!
Strand (2022)
G2 Strand is a shy cousin to the reboot suite of typefaces. It is based on a less recognizable, but iconic to us MacOS system font and available per request. Here in use by Lukas Marstaller for the Museum of Applied Arts Frankfurt.
