Digged

Typeface design during a workshop at La Fonderie de l’Image.

Abegno

In a workshop led by Redouan Chetouan, we designed our own typeface — a creative and enriching project. We began with a single word, ‘abegno’, and from its six letters, built an entire alphabet. For example, a ‘p’ rotated 180 degrees becomes a ‘d’, and the process continues for the other letters.

Tipp-Ex to dig, black pen to fill

I designed a geometric typeface based on circles and squares. Using a black marker and correction fluid, I sculpted the shapes — for example, a white circle inside a black square formed the letter ‘o’. For my school’s open house, I created posters layering all 26 letters at 20% opacity, highlighting the geometric foundation of the typeface.
