Firmin Didot is one of my favorite font designers. I have been using his “didot” font for more than 10 years. Last year, I decided to make my own “didot”, and I spent more than 4 months redesigning it with a new kerning, tracking and spacing.

Helvetica is ubiquitous. I decided to redesign the entire font family with Fontlab ©. The new style is a relatively trendy. Anyone can download the entire font from my web site.

In 2007 I decided to make a guide book for japanese tourists in NY. I tried to show them the dark underground side of New York. I consider that a lot of japanese tourists have a really commercial idea about what New York is, so I decided to collect unusual spots that only the locals know and present them in this book.

Type Design

 

 

 

 

 

Union Pool is the latest font that I designed. My inspiration came from the mosaics that decorate the city of Barcelona´ s Gothic constructions. These constructions are made out of several small pieces that together create an illusion of one single image. I wanted to recreate the same structure for my font. This font is intended for use in titles or headings.

In Experimental Book Art, I created my "Little Black Book". I collected my bills, emails, receipts, letters, detailed phone history, bank transactions, and other personal data of the past years. I screenprinted them using clear ink over black paper.

National Selection

 

 

In 2005 the paper company Canson commissioned students of European art schools to make an Artist book using their brand of paper. The theme of the book was “to grow”. I made a 590’ long accordion book. 24 double pages illustrated each year of my life and I left several blank pages for the future.
