TDC70 Winner | Certificate of Typographic Excellence

1 Apr, 2024

I’m really happy to share with all of you that the TDC 70 Type Directors Club has awarded my Calligraphic editorial for Middlebury Magazine, yay!!! You can check the other finalists and categories here.

This feature showcases a highly ornamented and fully customised pointed-pen calligraphy piece, displaying high contrast, angular attributes and a discontinuous ductus to match the energy and personality of the partner illustration by André Carrilho. You can see a video showing all my creative process here.
