About TypeMedia

Type and Media is a full-time one year master program in type design at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (KABK), NL. The first semester familiarizes the students with shaping letters in various media, from stone carving and calligraphy to vector graphics and code. In the second semester, students design and develop their own typeface project. This site showcases the final exam projects of the class of 2021.

Peleton

Peleton is a typeface supporting Latin and Cyrillic scripts. During my studies at TypeMedia, a Warsaw-based artist, Mateusz Kubiak asked me to design a booklet for his illustrations. I thought it would be a good idea to design a typeface related to his drawings. Typeface has sharp, crispy tension in the line structure. Peleton was designed with an idea for editorial design and display purposes.
