First Aid Kit

The typographic First Aid Kit offers designers a range of letter forms. Each font weight stands alone as a mini typeface, full of character. This collection serves as an excellent starting point for branding or designing expressive posters.

The kit also reflects my long-standing work in type design. Early on, I focused on developing families with generous weight ranges. Crafting large typographical systems is enjoyable, but it can also be limiting. A typical workday is eight hours long over five days. The conceptual phase of a typeface takes about 10% of the overall development time. The remaining 90% involves refining shapes and focusing on details.

That’s why a set of mini typefaces within one font family caught my interest. I could explore my ideas and complete them without worrying about how the shapes function in Thin or Black. I could simply develop my favourite font weight.

This typeface is a tutti‑frutti of 13‑font‑weights and a lot of fun for both the user and the type designer.

Ist der Ruf erst ruiniert, lebt es sich ganz ungeniert?

Zwischen heut und morgen liegt eine lange Frist; lerne schnell besorgen, da du noch munter bist.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Was wir wissen, ist eine Badewanne. Was wir nicht wissen, ist ein Ozean.

Make hay while the sun shines or bring hair dryer.

There is no shame in not knowing, the shame lies in not finding out.

Ärgere dich nicht, dass die Rosen Dornen haben, sondern freu dich, dass die Dornen Rosen haben.

Der Apfel fällt nicht weit vom Stamm, es wäre denn, er steht im Hang.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Opportunity does not knock until you build a door.

Wer Pech hat im Spiel hat Glück
in der Liebe.

The comeback is greater than the setback?

Die Schönheit liegt im Auge des Betrachters?
