Ambrose Color. This font uses Ambrose Pixel as a template and features the same design as Softstruct.

Softstruct is a cheerful display font that captures the tactile charm of children’s construction toys. Designed on a pixel grid, it uses rounded letterforms that resemble foam or rubber pieces, each perforated with uniform circular “studs” that echo toy bricks or pegboards. Though rooted in pixel structure, the glyphs are softened with subtle curves and shading, giving them a squishy, almost rubbery appearance.

Escher's Woven Fabric. Eighteen patterns for infinite tiling. This work is based on M.C. Escher's woven ribbon motifs, 1938, 1942. He's made wooden stamps for the basic motifs and rotated and combined them to create fantastic woven fabric patterns.

Frunze Stencil. A book mockup with a theoretical title of Leo Tolstoy's classic work War and Peace. It says Special Military Operations and Peace. Since the Russian authorities are in total denial about what's going on in Ukraine, they banned the use of such words as war and invasion, I imagined how that book would have looked like in a 2022 Russian edition.
