Graphic and Type Design for Shared Matter, a collective exhibition shown at @spaziovento during Milano Design Week 2026 by Pro Helvetia in partnership with Presence Switzerland. Debut use of Arbon, my new typeface based on the original drawings of Jan Tschichold’s Sabon, reimagined with adjusted Times-like proportions and an extra compact cap height, aiming to revive its forms through a 2026 lens.

What does it mean to share matter?The key image made by @ginimoynier @nicolasbernklau, captures the essence of : a gathering of people, textures and materials brought into one shared space. Like an archive assembled through the design process, each element is collected and held together without losing its individuality. Rather than merging, the pieces coexist - distinct yet connected - forming a collective statement through their shared presence.The exhibtion will present works from @akutostudio, @iiode, @noelanirutz, @pantertourron, @silvio.rebholz, @ve_ro_studio + @fili__fili__On viewMonday, 20 April 2026 – Friday, 24 April 2026, 10am – 7pm@spaziovento, Via Pinamonte da Vimercate, 4, MilanOrganized by @prohelvetia_design in partnership with Presence Switzerland Official Partner @karimokunewstandard Official Suppliers @bleocollective @charbon_cafe Network Partner: @swissdesignassociation_sda, Federal Office of Culture, @istitutosvizzero PR: @mayconcepts, @gc_agency Copywriting @ccamillekkaiser#SharedMatter #MilanoDesignWeek #ProHelvetia #SwissDesign
