Lettering 2024

A series of lettering pieces done through that year, mainly by using procreate.

An art nouveau-ish lettering piece for the city of Nancy, with very ornate convoluted shapes, black letters on white background with light blue dropout shadow, some heraldic symbols in the corners in light grey (a fleur de lys, a bird, a thistle, a lion). Under the black lettering, a bright red bird skull as a drop of blood.

⚫ "Nancy" — "Flat 3D" lettering piece inspired by a visit to the baroque city of Nancy in autumn 2024. The symbols on the corners were inspired by some stone carvings seen in the city (see next post) while the letters where inspired of course by Place Stanislas but also by several ornaments around the city. Software used: Blender, Glyphs, Illustrator, After Effects. (November 2024).

Annecy

Neo-medieval take on the name of this beautiful city on the east of France.

New Orleans VS Paris

Lettering collaboration with Matthijs Herzberg of Herzberg Design Co. The idea behind this collaboration is that we sent each other lettering sketches and then we could render them any way we wanted. I chose to make the art nouveau letters of "New Orleans" even more unreadable and to make everything look more liquid. The colours of honey, blood and water were combined for the final composition. Matthijs Herzberg's original sketch is also shown here.

Montereau

A linear lettering hommage to Montereau-Fault-Yonne, drawn in Glyphs and 3D-modelled in Blender, with some cenital sun-like light effects. In November 2024 I had the pleasure to give a type design workshop at the lycée Lycée André Malraux located in this French city.

Alter Ego

A lettering piece of what the "alter ego" expression could look like, including a bifid G and a goat-eye O.
