Script letterings

Stay in front!

Sometimes, I create quick lettering pieces for various occasions, using them as opportunities to explore new forms and handwritten expressions. It’s like a mini training session—experimenting with tools, techniques, and styles, often stepping outside my comfort zone. This particular piece was designed as a print for a canvas goodie bag at a conference in Zurich, Switzerland. Featuring watery chalk paint, the lettering boasts a semi-scratchy texture and a playful comic-like character, enhanced by a bubble swash stroke encircling all the letters.

Lettering for Andrea Ringli

Working with Swiss illustrator Andrea Ringli on her lettering logotype was a delightful experience. To capture the essence of her unique style, I explored various lettering approaches – experimented with both digital ProCreate pens and traditional analogue tools to find the perfect match.

I wanted to incorporate the playful and almost childlike character of Andrea's illustrations in a form of oblique letterforms and curly strokes into my designs. Ultimately, a simple monolinear stroke with quick bottom connections and visible dots emerged as the winning concept.

Ultra Ultra

Lettering (and tattoo) for the new album by Czech rapper Vladimir 518. The lettering was designed to feel sharp, bold, dominant, and uncompromising, with tightly interlocked letters that minimize spacing. Two slightly different versions—one for each arm—were developed through extensive sketching, where I emphasised maximum marker pressure and dynamic, rapid strokes. The final lettering was tattooed on Vladimir’s arm just in time for filming the music video for his album ULTRA ULTRA.

DogTown

The DogTown boutique specializes in the sale, production, and distribution of a wide range of dog supplies. The aim was to create a simple lettering wordmark that harmonizes with the distinctive illustrations by Kateřina Boudriot Bažantová, which define the boutique’s identity—from a Chihuahua on shop’s awning to a bulldog on a label of pâté. The final vector lettering integrates effortlessly into the shop’s interior and counter design while perfectly complementing the vector illustrations on smaller products, such as dog food cans.

Beneficial Shock!

Beneficial Shock! is a film magazine for movie lovers and illustration enthusiasts that champions progressive thinking from contemporary image-makers alongside written content by respected film journalists/critics. The logotype mimic the cinematic typography from 1950s, such as noir cinema movie titles. I experimented with various script styles, tilting them on a steep incline and enhancing the design with dramatic drop shadows and intentionally scratchy details to amplify the bold, noir-inspired character.

Lipstick

Lipstick is a young Czech production company driven by a passion for film and branded entertainment. At first, I envisioned lettering that leaned heavily into a cinematic aesthetic—experimenting with drop shadows, curved text, Art Deco inlines, and typography mimicking classic movie titles. Naturally, I couldn’t resist trying a version written with an actual lipstick!

However, the brief called for something understated yet confident, with a bold and distinctive “L” as the focal point. The result needed to avoid girly flourishes while still exuding a feminine, precise elegance in script form. The final design is a clean, flowing lettering style without unnecessary embellishments, featuring one subtle nod to Czech handwriting: a lowercase “p” in the distinctly Czech style.
