Type design projects:
◉ Luperca typeface

#TypeDesign #Motion
#CharacterDesign #UI
Unknown number is 'a first person talker', a new genre of videogames that you play by using your voice, created by Meaning Machine
(formerly known as Godolphin Games). Through a series of phone calls, you can help the environmental activists of the game to perform a daring heist taking place on an abandoned oil rig.
For this project, extensive art and type direction work was realized: from creating the main logotype to sub-brand logotypes, a custom typeface, icon design, character design and user interface. Unknown number was released on Steam the 21st September 2022.
◉ I Love Roubaix typeface
for Roubaix Tourisme
2022
#TypeDesign
I Love Roubaix is a typeface inspired by the history of Roubaix, a city in the north of France. Roubaix knew a certain growth during the industrial revolution in the 19th century.
The I Love Roubaix typeface was developed at the request of the Roubaix Tourism Office and of the atelier Bien Vu. Its design is based on brick-shaped modules, as a reference to the predominant building method in the city. On its smaller optical sizes, its brick texture is reinforced with internal connections that recall the path of seams found in textile patterns. This way, this typeface creates a bridge between two main features of the city: brick architecture and textile industry. You can download "Roubaix Industrielle" (a libre/open-source version of the I love Roubaix typeface) on the Tunera Type Foundry.
