Tim Schmeer Lab - We Create Monsters 2022.

We Create Monsters

We Create Monsters assembled from cut and recombined letterforms

We Create Monsters is an experimental typography workshop led by Tim Schmeer at the Peter Behrens School of Arts in Düsseldorf. By cutting, reusing, and recombining existing letterforms, we searched for our own visual voices—inventing characters that grew into personal alphabets and new type families.
