I design typefaces. Sorta. More accurately, I should say that every now and then I’ll start sketching out an idea for some kooky new lettering and before I know it I’ve put an entire alphabet together. Naturally, it occurs to me that a finished set of letters is a big step towards a complete typeface, and that it might be fun to finish it and possibly even release it for others to use. So I start drafting up some plans for the rest of the character set, come up with a suitably pretentious name, and settle in for the long haul.

Anyway, I forgot what I was talking about, but here’s five specimens and twenty posters to put a handful of those semi-complete typefaces I’ve made over the years to use. Enjoy! View more of Alex’s work at alexvaranese.com.

Designed by Sara Nicely from San Francisco, the Flour Pot Bakery Pot strives for a healthy diet with high quality, natural ingredients and environmentally friendly practices. The bakerys interior space is inviting and warm with natural lighting and eclectic funky displays advertising baked goods. This identity system was designed to convey the unique and handmade qualities of the bakery. The hand-drawn type was inspired by the wiry Christmas lights arranged throughout the dining area. I chose to design a menu that could be carried home without hassle. I placed all menu items on a baguette carry-out bag so that customers could carry the menu home easily while simultaneously being able to enjoy a Flour Pot baked good. An alternate menu for lunch is available for guests who dine in.

TypExperiments – type-design at the at the edge but within legibility
The function of a typeface is always above its style, readability is the touchstone of of the font’s justification. But readability can not always be absolutely defined – it is always an interaction between beholder’s personality, formal features of the typeface and the context of usage.

What happens, if there is only a thin red line between type-design an graphic-design, every single letter is becoming principal actor and braekes out the homogeneous system of »best readability«? How far graphic-parameters could exaggerated or recombined?

Owing to a compound of scientifically, experimentally approach, anolouge occupation and digital processing type-designs has been developed, which sample and infringe the linits of readability and typographical conventions.
