Filmmaker Jenna Hanchard approached Lola Landekic to collaborate on creating a brand system for her short film series Hysteric Hystories. The first part, To Dress a Wound, centers Black girl grief, rage, and daydreams, examining the emotional weight Black women and femmes carry under racial capitalism and patriarchy, tracing how these histories live within the body while imagining space for release, healing, and expansion.

When choosing the typography for the project, it was important to echo the film’s intentions so Lola wanted to include the work of a Black type designer. They settled on OS Korhogo by me, Ivorian artist and graphic designer O’Plérou. Lola Landekic customized the typeface with an unsteady outline “to match the aesthetic we were building for the film and created an ornate border for the title, drawing on lace designs from the mid-19th century.”

The monospaced sans serif is JetBrains Mono by Konstantin Bulenkov and Philipp Nurullin. On the movie poster, the two are paired with Univers Ultra Condensed for credits, and a script typeface used for the border.
