In a world full of large grotesk fonts and blocky layouts, my portfolio website aims to offer an unconventional mix of fonts that invoke a strong sense of emotion. Throwing out the prejudice of ugly and beautiful allows the artistic combo of typefaces to shine through, complimenting the retro aesthetic.

This website aims to give an impression of “familiar yet not at the same time”, thanks to the nostalgic mockups combined with MCKL’s innovative degradation concept of their Redaction. An unexpected pairing of fonts is attained by adding Söhne from Klim Type Foundry and Self Modern from Bretagne. The typesetting – a mix of all lowercase and all caps – ensures a refreshing impression.
