The goal of the redesign was to modernize the brand identity of a small, family-owned company specializing in compact timers for ski racing. Balancing their reputation as an engineering-driven, self-sufficient team with a futuristic yet nostalgic aesthetic, the rebrand reflects their unique values and market niche. A custom typeface and corporate design system were created to embody the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and forward-thinking innovation. The logo is inspired by a clock face and a snowflake, symbolizing the core elements of ski racing. This cohesive design establishes a compelling visual identity that honors the company’s legacy while positioning it for future growth.

The Kompakt typeface conveys speed, boldness, and modernism, all while maintaining compactness and versatility. It maximizes space efficiency without sacrificing style or legibility. Through its variable contrasts, Kompakt delivers clear readability at all sizes and reliably performs in diverse applications.

This project involved designing the yearly publication for the ORF to present internal data, highlighting its contributions to diversity and society through reporting and broadcasts. The goal was to create a visually engaging yet professional format that emphasizes the trustworthiness and significance of the data. The inner layout was designed with a focus on modesty and clarity, mirroring the precision of the numbers it presents. The brick on the cover represents numbers as solid, reliable entities, echoing the ORF logo’s rectangular shape, often humorously called the "ORF-Brick." This motif extends into the interior, where it appears in information graphics, creating a cohesive visual language throughout the publication.

Interpol is a variable font with a grid-based system. Its design principle explores different degrees of edge rounding, creating letterforms that oscillate between rigidity and softness. This variability reveals the gradual emergence of something concrete from something abstract, making the design process visible. This contrast gives Interpol a dynamic visual character, making it ideal for striking headlines, futuristic designs, and expressive typographic compositions.

The goal of this project was to design a layout that highlights the images, while keeping the accompanying text informative but unobtrusive. A flexible grid system was developed, allowing elements and images to be arranged dynamically. This adaptability ensures that the layout fits each shape and format of photograph, offering a visually engaging yet uncluttered presentation. Text elements were purposefully restrained, avoiding decorative styles to maintain a clean and minimal aesthetic that supports the images without distracting from them. The design takes inspiration from sympathy cards, channeling their understated elegance and quiet respect. This approach brings a sense of reverence to the photographs, underlining their importance and creating a contemplative experience for the viewer.

Walze is a sans serif typeface with four style sets, all based on a shared structure blending grotesque and gothic elements. Each style features unique glyph terminals: Set 1 emphasizes a Gothic character, Set 2 draws inspiration from Bauhaus, Set 3 adopts a distinct Humanist approach, and Set 4 features a more Grotesque aesthetic. The consistent structure allows for seamless mixing and matching of styles.

The new identity for Engadiner, a family-owned vacation farm and winery in South Tyrol, Italy, successfully marries the company's rich agricultural heritage with its contemporary winemaking endeavors, projecting a brand that values bothtradition and timelessness. The new design was inspired by the original logo, which featured the name "Engadiner Hof" in a fractured typeface. This fractured look was reimagined and modernized. To complement this update, I chose a sans-serif typeface for the rest of the lettering, ensuring a balanced and unified visual identity. The E was further reimagined as a three-dimensional form, resembling a stone carving. This design choice enhances the decorative potential of the logo, allowing it to be used as an emblem. The carved effect symbolizes the craftsmanship and quality that goes into their winemaking process.

Bouquet is a typeface that embodies a company’s commitment to quality, tradition, and craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from the timeless elegance of classicist Antiqua, the design sought to merge traditional elements with a sense of rugged authenticity. By incorporating slab serifs into the classic structure, the typeface achieves a unique blend of refined tradition and rustic charm. The strong, sturdy serifs evoke a sense of craftsmanship and durability, while maintaining the elegant and readable form of a classic Antiqua. This combination results in a typeface that feels both timeless and grounded, perfect for representing a brand that values its heritage and attention to detail.

I had the privilege of designing an information sheet and posters for the diploma exhibition of my close friend Jakob. Titled “Strange Days,” the exhibition delves into themes of creation, preservation, and the transience of memories. The design was directly inspired by the three sculptures at the heart of the exhibition. These sculptures consist of rigid metal frameworks that interact with organic objects, creating a compelling dialogue between structure and fluidity. Reflecting this dynamic, I developed a layout where the grid itself remained visible, emphasizing the rigidity of the frameworks. In contrast, the typography introduced a flowing, organic quality, mirroring the interplay of structure and transience central to the sculptures and the exhibition as a whole.

Ärger is a serif typeface designed to combine elegance with a sense of ominousness. It was inspired by the hand-drawn letterforms in an old book found in my parents' attic and by the proportions of Capitalis Monumentalis. Origin The project began in 2021 with the digitization of the capital letters found in the book. Some of the characters had subtle indentations on their base serifs—small imperfections that I found appealing and chose to incorporate into every glyph. Building on these initial forms, I refined the typeface, using the rhythm of Capitalis Monumentalis as my primary reference. After completing the uppercase set, I continued developing the typeface by designing the lowercase letters and symbols.

The redesign of the ÖAW Yearly Report focused on creating a layout that combines flexibility with a cohesive visual identity, ensuring that diverse information could be seamlessly integrated while maintaining a professional and polished appearance. The design takes inspiration from the original design language of the ÖAW, preserving key elements such as the blue color palette, typefaces, and the distinctive style of the logo. Special attention was given to the use of integrated lines, which appear consistently at the top of the page to introduce text and at the bottom to signify its conclusion, creating a structured and recognizable visual rhythm.

Brachial is a modular display typeface inspired by traditional Fraktur letterforms. Constructed from vertical and diagonal strokes, its structure is raw and geometric. Designed as a variable font with a single axis, it transforms from ultra-narrow to ultra-wide by extending its diagonals and compressing its verticals, or vice versa.

As part of the new FWF identity, a set of icons was developed to complement and align with the updated visual language. The design process centered around integrating the distinctive angle and stylistic features of the new logo into the icon set. The angle of the logo influenced not only the overall forms but also the way lines intersect, how corners are shaped, and how line endings are executed. This consistent approach creates a cohesive visual system that ties the icons seamlessly to the broader identity. The resulting icon set balances clarity and sophistication, offering a visually unified and easily recognizable representation of the FWF brand across various applications.

During my studies at the New Design University in St. Pölten, Austria, I attended the Carftstudio course. During the course, I designed this letter under the guidance of Hermann Seiser. The work began with the design of the letter, for which I was inspired by knife shapes. The construction of the letter began with the casting of the plaster block, which I then gave a rough shape with a saw and then worked in the details with the help of a file.

A magazine that provides a platform for presenting research work, sharing work-in-progress insights, and fostering constructive criticism. The publication encourages interaction and dialogue, creating an open space for collaboration and exchange of ideas. The concept of "in-between"—the interaction and connection between people, ideas, and processes—inspired the magazine’s design language. This is reflected in how spaces are treated throughout the publication. The space between columns of text is intentionally disrupted, creating unconventional layouts that invite exploration. Design elements occupy unusual places, breaking traditional boundaries and encouraging the reader to view the content from fresh perspectives.
