I had a dream. There was a window with a soft summer breeze coming through it. Nearby, a handkerchief was nailed to the wall. For a week, I had been thinking about how to represent Shakespeare’s “Othello” in a poster. I didn’t want to rely on familiar clichés of jealousy, conflict, passion, and so on.

So, here it is: Desdemona’s handkerchief — a seemingly insignificant object, accidentally lost, from which a tragic chain of events began.

O nein, Monsieur Harry, das haben Sie nicht. Sie haben aus Ihrem Leben eine scheußliche Krankengeschichte gemacht, aus Ihrer Begabung ein Unglück.

The crime was to exist.

Between essence and existence, guilt already breathes.

Who was that? A friend? A good person? Somebody who was taking part? Somebody who wanted to help? Was he alone? Was it everyone? Would anyone help? Were there objections that had been forgotten? There must have been some. The logic cannot be refuted, but someone who wants to live will not resist it. Where was the judge he'd never seen? Where was the high court he had never reached? He raised both hands and spread out all his fingers. But the hands of one of the gentlemen were laid on K.'s throat, while the other pushed the knife deep into his heart and twisted it there, twice. As his eyesight failed, K. saw the two gentlemen cheek by cheek, close in front of his face, watching the result. “Like a dog!” he said. It was as if the shame of it should outlive him.

— Franz Kafka, The Trial (Der Prozess)

Something like that. I can't decide which one I like more, probably the first one. But anyway.

"Boots" is a poem by English author and poet Rudyard Kipling.

“Try—try—try—try—to think o' something different

Oh—my—God—keep—me from goin' lunatic!”

typeface Bau

Continuing the work on my typeface — bau, a modular grid-based alphabet inspired by the structural clarity of the Bauhaus. Each letter is constructed within a strict square system — limiting expression to geometry, yet revealing rhythm through form.

This is not a decorative font. It’s a study in structure, in constraint, in balance. Where every shape follows a logic, but keeps its own identity.

Built on the principle: less, but better.
