Rap Everyday

RapRap is a Czech lifestyle brand not only for rap lovers. The brief was to tag over a collection of T-shirts, sweatshirts and merch with original graffiti. For sketching, I used alcohol-filled markers, acrylic sprays, wax pens, thick markers, chalks and techniques like dripping and squeezing its tips, then I digitized the letterforms. 

The Everyday typeface was also originally created as a lettering for Rap Rap. In addition to analogue techniques, I also took an iPad with the ProCreate app and spray brushes from LetterManiac, which look unbelievably natural – just like spray strokes. The result was a series of about twenty letterings that Rap Rap printed with silkscreen on several collections, incl. neon & reflective silkscreen prints on unisex clothing, shirts, tees, hoodies, hats, totebags, skateboards and much more.

  • Refining nodes into well-tuned vector curves in GlyphsApp was a challenge—I aimed to maintain a touch of raw, "trashy" character while ensuring smooth and polished outlines. This screenshot is captured "before" polishing. 

    Sketches

    The number of digital and analogue sketches was nearly equal—hours of pure joy, countless approaches, and kilograms of tools, all coming together beautifully.
