Very excited that grid-type.com was awarded in the Tech and Web categories, as well as Recognised in the Typography category of the 2025 @internationalcreativeawards.

GridType is a grid-based type tool inspired by historical grid-based type design with stencils, such as the Plaque Découpée Universelle from the 1870s.

Create your own stencils by selecting a grid and adjusting various parameters, such as the number of rows, columns, or the level of complexity. Draw your letterforms within these grids and download them as a font file.

Full case studies of Awarded and Recognised work are published on the International Creative Awards website creativeawards.international

In this workshop we explore how type design can become a process of encoding, translating ideas, data, or emotions into visual systems. In typography, letterforms always encode more than just the words themselves. Their form, structure, and rhythm become part of the message and shape how we experience written language. This workshop is led by Katharina Nejdl (@katharinanejdl), a graphic designer, developer, and educator interested in using digital technologies such as web, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence as graphic tools. No experience needed, but don’t forget to bring your laptop!

You can find tickets, and more information about Katharina and this workshop via the link in our bio.

Aleksandra Samuļenkova is a Latvian-born type designer based in the Netherlands. She designs for Latin, Cyrillic and (occasionally) Greek, and consults on the former two scripts.
Aleksandra is known for her typeface Pilot—one of the few contemporary type designs that has been cast in metal, as well as for her award-winning Cyrillic and Greek extensions of notable typefaces such as IBM Plex.
Aleksandra also specializes in designing diacritics and special characters for the Latin script, and enjoys lecturing on the topic at various educational institutions, among others—her alma mater—Type and Media Master programme at the Royal Academy of Art in the Hague, and Type@Cooper in NYC.

Katharina Nejdl is a designer and developer based in Amsterdam. She recently published her website grid-type.com, a grid based type tool, which she will talk about during this evening.
“What does a digital publication look like? How do posters become participatory? What new perspectives does AI open up for design?” Katharina Nejdl deals with these and other questions in her work. As a designer and developer, she is interested in using digital technologies - such as web, AR and AI - as graphic tools. Katharina Nejdl studied at the Sandberg Instituut, UdK Berlin and ZHdK. She teaches creative coding and gives workshops. In 2019 she founded the digital literary magazine ­ (www.andshymagazine.com), which explores new forms of digital reading, writing and publishing.

Typographic Fortune Telling

______

In this workshop, we’ll explore how typefaces can convey distinct personalities, moods, and narratives. Typography isn’t just about choosing letters; it’s about crafting voices and characters through type.
In this session, we’ll start by dissecting the unique “character” of well-known typefaces, examining how subtle details—like curves, angles, and proportions—can communicate different emotions and ideas.
From here, we’ll exchange characterizations and reinterpret someone else’s typographic characters into a new typeface. No prior experience in typography is needed.

GridType is a grid-based type tool. There are nine different grid types available, giving an insight into my research about grid construction. Some grids are geometric, based on rectangles, triangles, or circles. Others are inspired by how different display technologies, such as pixels and segments, have influenced type design. Additionally, there are references to historic grid-based type design, including Wim Crouwel, the Bauhaus and the Plaque Découpée Universelle.
