SURROUND is the second concept font I developed during my Bachelor's thesis at HKB (Bern Academy of the Arts).

Using three variable font axes (Animation, Wave Amplitude and Wave Direction) to control the motion, 208 masters were created to cover all steps. A Python script took around 20 hours to complete the pixel displacement for all 26 letters. But once rendered and saved as a font file, it runs butter-smooth — at least in the browser.

Razzel Dazzel is one of four concept fonts I created during my Bachelor thesis at HKB (Bern Academy of the Arts), resembling Dazzle Camouflage.

Exploring the potential of #KineticFonts, designed as a #VariableFont.

MT-Shift Specimen as a Flipbook, showcasing the possibility of seamless letterform morphing between all glyphs, implemented right into the font file.
