Sum
While I am not a professional type designer, I have a passion for creating custom typefaces. I just finished this display numerical typeface, called Sum. This font comprises six sizes: Light, Regular, Semibold, Bold, Black, and Heavy. Engaging in studies like this is beneficial for graphic designers., as it enables them to comprehend the intricacies of typeface formation. This knowledge is particularly valuable when crafting a bespoke typeface for a brand.

A simplification of a sapphire gem paired with the variable typeface, New York designed by Apple. New York is a serif companion to Apple’s San Franciso-type series, it features six weights and features variable optical sizes. The 'G' in the wordmark was adjusted to mirror the shape of the gem, enhancing balance and symmetry of the combination mark.

Dutch Mafia Display Typeface

Dutch Mafia Display Typeface
A self-initiated project born from my childhood experiences growing up in a Dutch immigrant family.

The ornamental artifacts found in Dutch culture were the base that inspired the creation of this display font. Everything from fancy accouterments—including Delft pottery, wooden shoes, and doilies—to the unique architecture, cultural dress, traditions, and folk tales all defined the font. Though the style is simple in form, it conveys the unique and playful cultural background of Dutch society. In collaboration with Kurt Devlaeminck.
