Exhibition Grad-> (visuals)

I prepared the visual design for the exhibition “GRAD -> concepts, objects, spaces” at the MAO – Museum of Architecture and Design in Ljubljana, in collaboration with exhibition designer Sara and Sara. I must admit, I enjoyed it a lot.

The design for the exhibition draws inspiration from the versatile and quirky history of the castle over the past 500 years. A defining component of the visuals is the combination of custom type and illustrated icons that form dynamic textures. Geometric shapes reference the content of the museum archive, such as metal fences, glasses, and ceramic cups.

I also designed custom typeface Rozamunda, which draws inspiration from a lettering specimen in book of Vintage Alphabets. Featuring high-contrast letter forms, this typeface was originally created for an exhibition at Grad Fužine (currently Museum of Architecture and Design in Ljubljana). The letters reflect questions about the position of a castle nowadays, what it means to the surrounding community and the people who work in it.

Typeface Rozamunda is available and purchasable at Dotless Type.
