I had the privilege to design 5 weight custom sans serif type family to Nokian Tyres. Our goal was to create a type family that reflects the Scandinavian design, roundness of a tyre and the history of Nokian Tyres company. We used the same kind of uppercase N that has been used in old Nokia posters and tyre markings. This new font is part of the Nokian Tyres rebranding by TBWA/Helsinki.
I had a pleasure to be part of the team developing and designing this all caps rounded sans serif. Client: Sek

My Paintlay typeface won a silver award in Vuoden Huiput 2015 / The Best of Finnish Advertising and Design competition in Graphic design category.
Two of my projects is on shortlist of Vuoden Huiput 2015 (The Best of Finnish Advertising and Design competition). These successful projects are Paintlay type family and HKL Headline which is a custom typeface I designed together with Dynamo&Son for HKL (Helsinki City Transport).
I had pleasure to design a custom typeface for HKL (Helsinki City Transport). This font is based on old hand painted tram signage in Helsinki. I did some research of the methods how painters actually painted those letters. And then designed the typeface with some subtle modernization but preserving all those distinctive details and characteristics.
I was interviewed for Creative Characters by Myfonts.
