I am happy to introduce Minicus, a compressed modular typeface that was inspired by the lettering on a plaque in Amsterdam. The plaque marks the former business of Minicus (Ph.) Zeehandelaar (1883–1943)

I recently worked on a Swiss Typography project exploring the principles of the International Typographic Style through a modern design approach.
The project focuses on clarity, structure, grid systems, typography, and visual hierarchy, while keeping the overall composition minimal and purposeful.
I explored how strong typography and disciplined layouts can create a visual language that feels both timeless and contemporary.
This project was an opportunity to experiment with the balance between function, form, and visual communication core principles that continue to influence modern graphic and brand design.
