︎    Hauz & Home

2024, type design
found in design

Inspired by ideas of housekeeping, bliss, and care: these typeface designs reflect both innocent joy and tenderness present in comfortable home spaces. Hauz (the one that is black & white) translates the line quality and messiness of children’s drawings in order to form house adjacent structures and letters. Home (the one that is red & white) focuses on the classic, overlapping gingham pattern, hintinf to the labor of love that needed to contruct these spaces, to create soft letterforms.
