After providing design consultation for Applix last year, a tech company building AI tools for manufacturing optimization, I was recently hired to design and develop a new landing page for them.
It now serves as a foundation for the client to independently build additional subpages.

The immersive installation lets visitors make decisions on climate-related topics and experience the consequences for humanity. Scope appears throughout the installation in animated and interactive ways, and the title/logo features a custom-modified version.

Fictional is often used in books and branding directed at children, so I’ve updated some letterforms for better readability.
The originals remain available as alternatives. All styles now include the new glyphs, and are available as a free update for existing licenses.

In 2020, Funs Kurstjens and I designed the website for stylist Natalie Schneider. It’s a project I am still proud of and continue to showcase in my portfolio.
I recently came across Welcome Agency’s site (online since 2023), which in my view is a 1:1 copy of our design.

Type friends: Since Fictional is regularly used in books and branding directed at children, I‘m updating some letterforms to make them easier for children to read.
Should I make the new ones alternative or default?
