KAREL MARTENS — UNBOUND 💥

A powerful reminder of the beauty that comes from decades of making and remaking. Martens’ work flows across time, media, and intention—always with a sense of play and precision. It’s not about reaching a final form, but staying in motion.
Unmissable!

Placa is my display typeface, born from the question: What typeface could represent Barcelona? Inspired by street signs, it now has 5 styles + a Variable Font. I'm adding an expressive lowercase & Latin Plus.

Welcome Brise! My new typeface family :=)

#laurameseguer #typeotones #typography #StencilType #typedesign

Brise is a stencil type family inspired by the interplay between air and structure. Like a breeze drifting through space, its forms are shaped by both presence and absence. The family goes from Text Light to Display Extreme. Available also as a Variable Font (on demand).

Questrial, designed by Joe Prince and Laura Meseguer
Many African languages lack proper typographic support. To address the lack of open source fonts for African languages, Google Fonts gave me the task of expanding Questrial typeface for that purpose.

MR. BOHO Custom Typeface

What can I tell about this project that I haven’t already said? :) I think it’s a great example of how a custom typeface elevates a brand’s perception.

The origins of my type family Qandus Latin, date back to 2005, as part of the TMMM project by the KHATT Foundation, consisting on the design of typefaces covering 3 writing systems: Maghrebi-style Arabic, Latin, and Tifinagh.
