With this project, I’m trying to design my favourite typeface. Since it’s my first serious project, my influences and skills have evolved faster than the typeface itself. That’s why I named it after a jellyfish that claims to know how to navigate. My goal is to keep this variable typeface uniwidth, with both a slant and a weight axis. While it should work at display sizes, the main focus remains on readability.

The imagine Festival is committed to diversity and against discrimination every year. The students of the graphic design class have the opportunity to participate in the competition for designing the poster, flyer, stage setup, and social media presence. I approached this project with a strong typographic focus and created a display typeface specifically for this occasion.

A fictional rebranding of the Merian Gärten. Since the Merian Gärten include botanical gardens, many plants are labelled with small signs displaying their German and Latin name. In my concept, these signs are used as graphic elements in various contexts.

For this school project, I had the opportunity to design and screen print a book cover. The texture on the image layer makes the type appear in a lighter weight.

For the Gässli Film Festival, there was a competition in the graphic design class to design the festival’s appearance for the years 2026 to 2028. Together with Luc Schumacher and Alma Roth, I developed a concept for the festival’s visual identity. For the imagery and visual language, we decided to focus on the emotions of the audience.

Together with Katarina Milovanovic, I conceived and created a book about “non-places.” To represent these non-places, we each produced a photo series. Through this project, I learned how to develop a book concept and how to work typographically with a large amount of text — and I became familiar with bookbinding techniques.

Here I’m showing one of the three games I designed. For this set of poker cards, I chose a strictly typographic approach. Since the numbers on the cards are often viewed upside down during a game, I took this into account when making optical adjustments to the characters.
