The project Sinai is based on research into various publications featuring logos and wordmarks. From this collection, a type specimen was selected that exists solely as a logo, having been designed for a single use rather than as a complete typeface. As a result, only a limited number of characters are available, with no full alphabet and no possibility of direct expansion. rs are available, with no full al
The project Sinai is based on research into various publications featuring logos and wordmarks. From this collection, a type specimen was selected that exists solely as a logo, having been designed for a single use rather than as a complete typeface.
This selected wordmark served as the starting point for further development. By analysing its formal characteristics and underlying rules, the existing letterforms were extended, adapted and systematised. Based on this process, a complete alphabet was created, translating the original logic of the wordmark into a functional type system.Through this process, my own typeface was developed, resulting in a complete alphabet that translates the original logic of the wordmark into a functional and consistent font.

The project explores the transition from singular typographic expression to a coherent typeface, resulting in an independent type design derived from a specific and constrained origin.
