Sans-Serif Type Family

Proof is a sans serif family that was formerly known as Tram. It balances a constructed, technical feel and super ellipse forms with subtle but dynamic strike modulation and angled stroke terminals harking back to wayfinding types. It is now available via Village.

Editorial Design

Client: Loewe

An audio player for the German high-end electronics company Loewe. The app follows Loewe’s long tradition of clean, functional and iconic design.

Magazine Header
Client: Gruner und Jahr

The german food-magazine “essen und trinken” decided to update their magazine header in 2009 and I was comissioned to draw a Bodoni-inspired logotype, including many tweaks to fit the page properly. I tried to keep the spirit of a classic Bodoni while reworking and modernising some details, to give the logo a contemporary feel.

Corporate Script Font
Client: Fabrique

This is a corporate font for the online travel agency “Eliza was here”. It is used as the handwriting of the name-giving (fictional) character “Eliza”.

Siebert Film is the brainchild of Düsseldorf-based director and producer Florian Siebert. The inspiration for the logo are the proportions of the classic Cinemascope-format, 1 : 2,35. The noise within the logo represents the movie-makers blank canvas. The DVD "Eine Reise" is Siebert Film first full-length documentary. It follows a group of German psychotherapists on their journey to South Africa, where they attend a conference that focuses on the Apartheid and the Truth and Reconsiliation Commission.
