The new identity of Palácio das Artes, in Belo Horizonte, turns modernist architecture into a graphic language that is bold, accessible, and powerful. Inspired by the building’s iconic louvers, the identity breaks with the “white cube” paradigm and opens the doors to a more democratic culture. With vibrant colors, custom typography, broad editorial language, and welcoming signage, the project repositions one of Latin America’s most important cultural centers as an open, inclusive, and living space.

Clarity you can trust. For Eleve, a company that sells packaged fruits and vegetables, the project translates an advanced sanitization process into a visual language defined by lightness, precision, transparency, and freshness.
The redesign reinforces these values through a refined identity system. A new color and a more contemporary logotype bring distinction and cohesion across the packaging. Direct, empathetic, and instructive copy underscores practicality, guiding consumption while making the production process clear and accessible.

Exhibition
In Plantin's footsteps ︎︎︎, Aug-Sep 2022
Museum Plantin-Moretus, Antwerp, Belgium
Heynemann is a typographic revival of Susanne Heynemann's (1913-2019) calligraphy for the publication "Ten Poems by Emily Dickinson". Published in 1944, the booklet was illegally printed by the Vijf Ponden Pers in nazi occupied Amsterdam. What stands out are the unique upright italics created to typeset the poems. The digital interpretation was fully standardized and crafted with a variable stroke axis emulating the broad nib angle, which varied significantly during Heynemann's handwriting process. By reproducing some of the charming anatomical features of the original, the contemporary version preserves a fresh calligraphic feel and pays homage to Susanne Heynemann's natural talent.
The result of a year-long research project, this typeface was conceived in the Expert class Type design 2021–22 at the Plantin Institute of Typography, under the supervision of Frank E. Blokland. The institute is hosted inside the Museum Plantin-Moretus, the foremost printing-publishing house of the 16th century, and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
