5 hours to go. The TYPOGRAPHIC WALL CALENDAR 2012 made in Germany of 2.012 used keyboard keys – a huge success at Kickstarter
“Harald Geisler’s stunning reinterpretation of a calendar is a masterful example of how a designer can completely flip a genre signifier on its head. Geisler re-imagines calendars in order to change the way we visualize time, and in turn, redefines what it means to save the date.”
Michael McGregor, NYC, Kickstarter

Speech Bubbles Font
“How is something said? Loudly? With a tint of shyness? Does a rather small message take up a lot of space? The font Speech Bubbles gives the typographer a tool to make text speak – to give words conversational dynamics and to emphasize visually the sound of the message. The font includes a total of seventy outlines and seventy bubble backgrounds selected from a survey of historic forms.

Echinacea Prints
I never meant to publish this picture, but after I showed my experiments to a friend he insisted that I should print them. As a tribute to the old masters of still life painting that can be found from the 16th to 18th century throughout Europe, especially in the Netherlands and Germany.

Light Hearted Font
eros creates and furthers relations
affects, projections and identifications
love one another
who could’ve ever said seduce one another
Inspired by a recording with Jean Baudrillard with the title “Die Macht der Verführung” (The Power of Seduction) in german from 2006. Further inspiration came from the article “The shape of the heart: I’m all yours. The heart represents sacred and secular love: a bloodless sacrifice.” by british writer Louisa Young printed in EYE magazine (#43) 2002

Sevigny is for the poetic eye.
It sings to readers – luring and promising – sweet like candy.

New Font: Whimsical Musical
Whimsical Musical is a vivid hand drawn font with 405 alternate letters, all caps. Developed from a lighthearted drawing in my sketchbook saying the German word MUSIK cheerfully over and over in twenty vivid variations. Next to it was the date “6th April 2007.” This initial idea has burst into a font that is full of surprises and whimsical turns. It is dynamically suggestive, like music, and humorously chaotic, as in Dada.
Each uppercase letter is enriched with ten stylistic alternates (OpenType stylistic sets) to create a heap of playful variations amounting to a mountain of possibilities. Recommended for: gonzo headlines, fantastical picturesque covers, extravagant quirky flyers, chichi posters, individual labels and fun logos.
More information about the Font is available at MyFonts:
