LEON

    
Giel Bonte and Leon met early in 2022, after that the both of them spent time together, allowing Giel to meet his brother and get to know them better. Documenting and shedding light to a life and person that others look away from.

Shortly after the finish of the book Leon has been incarcerated, so he has not yet been able to see what his welcoming and trust have been able to create.

PHONOTYPE

And I heard 'em say, nothing is ever promised tomorrow today. But we’ll find a way.

Phonotype was created to assist the ‘Streams’ publication of 12/21. Focusing on the vowel that gives each spoken word its real sound. Making the visual fit the vocal.

STREAMS


Concerning the streams of the most listened songs of the past year (2021). Creating a pattern based on the amount of streams for every song, therefore focusing on the data rather than the artist. The song title and artist are hidden in the inside of the japanese fold, creating a sort of dimension to the depth of each page.

BADU

i´m in the kitchen,
i´m cooking and mixing and fixing the sauces and i´ll call you back.

Inspired by 1998s 'Zapfino', this typeface is a modernisation of the traditional calligraphy. Trying to give it a certain slick effect with the shortening of the lines, yet keeping the smooth soul of the curves. Design to assist the song ‘I’ll call you back’ on the album ‘But You Caint Use My Phone’, by soul singer Erykah Badu.

EMOTIONAL TYPE



Emotional Type is a type manual for graphic designers and people interested in typography, to understand how a certain typeface can potentially help underline the emotions of the words. The reader learns what parts of a typeface can be altered to strengthen the perception of a certain feeling. The application of emotions on type is split up in three chapters in the manual, whereby a specially designed ‘Emotional Type' specimen is included with 3 ‘emotional’ typefaces. With this specimen the user is able to express different emotions within a typed text and it is up to them to decide what they convey.
