TYPOGRAPHY IN CIRCULAR MOTION
For this project, I experimented with different methods of creating irregular readability using type in circular motion. I explored techniques such as Thaumatropes, Strobescope, and Zoetrope, and built machines to sustain the circular motion required for these experiments. By adjusting typographical elements, I aimed to create an illusion of readability or illegibility. I printed these "amended" glyphs on the circular element of the machine and documented my findings in a type specimen booklet, as well as several small booklets that detail the experiments.Videos:

SHANA TOVA
As a yearly tradition, I create a digital postcard to celebrate the start of the Jewish New Year in September. Through these projects, I explore the boundaries of Hebrew typography and experiment with creating unique typographical units using simple shapes and grids.

THE ALPHABETICAL ROOM
The project “The Alphabetical Room” is a systematic exploration into the boundaries and limits of writing within a strictly calculated mathematical three dimensional grid within the flat digital space. Treating the three dimensional grid in the second dimensional digital space was always an intriguing matter for graphic designers, programmers, creative coders and visual artists.Starting from Josef-Müller Brockmann’s grid proposal for the design of interior spaces in 1961, the perspective of the viewer changes throughout the pages of the leaflet as does the resolution of the three dimensional grids in which the hypothetical letterforms are displayed. In addition I wrote a short introductory essay on the historical and on-going fascination of graphic designers, programmers, creative coders and visual artists on that topic.
