ZERO – An Archive of Nothing A few days ago we explored zero as a visual and cultural phenomenon together with the students of @supsi_comunicazionevisiva . The Number Zero was approached through typography, everyday life and systems, focusing on how it appears, functions and is understood. The first half of the week was dedicated to collecting, discussing and jointly curating findings. In the second half, the focus shifted to editorial work. Each student selected one specific aspect of zero and developed it into an article, acting as editor and designer to explain their research in greater depth. All contributions were brought together into a collective visual archive, presented as a collaborative atlas and installation. The project resulted in a physical folder, a digital archive with 12 editorials and a series of printed T-shirts, each featuring a student’s chosen zero. The archive reveals zero not as an absence, but as a site of unexpected complexity and visual richness.

Futter Grotesk in Link Magazine @srfschweizerradioundfernsehen 📺 Link is the member magazine of SRG Deutschschweiz, exploring a wide range of topics around Swiss broadcasting. Lines, bars, and coloured pages recall the act of zapping through radio and TV programs, while each issue features new cover visuals by Swiss artists — maintaining a strong and recognisable identity through change. Designed by @raffinerie.ag , the publication’s clear structure and confident use of Futter Grotesk reflect the agency’s precise yet playful approach to editorial design. Futter Grotesk is now available — explore it in our freshly launched font shop. 🎉 Link in bio.

🇬🇱 Poster for @alpinesmuseum spotted in the Wild aka Bern. “Greenland. Everything changes” . "Rapidly melting ice sheets, booming tourism, three new airports under construction, ever-larger waste heaps, international investors in search of mineral resources, and a confident Greenland developing its Indigenous identity and independence. Greenland’s transformation is intense, turbulent, and contradictory. But what do the people there think of it all? What does this teach us about the world we live in? How do we deal with the dilemmas and contradictions? What scares us about it and what opportunities are at stake? ‘Greenland. Everything changes’ stands for a world that also exists in Switzerland and challenges us." (alps.museum) .

For IDEAL, the upcoming stage program by spoken word artist @lisa_christ_ , we developed a visual identity that toys with hyper-feminine aesthetics and pop-cultural clichés. The program questions contemporary ideals — what we admire, embody, and should leave behind. We staged an exaggerated portrait of Lisa: somewhere between commercial fantasy and subversive self-staging. The visuals flirt with the language of mainstream glamour while quietly pulling it apart. A custom typeface anchors the identity. Inspired by the unapologetic wordmarks of early-2000s fast fashion, it’s playful, loud, and deliberately too much — reflecting the program’s interrogation of ideals as both commodity and construct. The new website 🔗lisachrist.ch extends this attitude: bold, bright, and impossible to ignore.
