The idea behind this project is to bring typography to life using both analog and digital means—through grids, transformation, poetry, and sound.

The analog transformation creates the illusion of real motion: a sheet of translucent paper with three lines of typography is bent and deformed. In the digital poster, the line “Only those who are ready to journey forth” from Hermann Hesse’s poem "Steps" (1877–1962) move rhythmically across the format, forming a staircase that visually echoes the poem’s central metaphor.

For the grid work, the systematic designs of Herbert W. Kapitzki (1925–2005) provided inspiration. Simple shapes were repeatedly rotated within a grid until new patterns emerged. Building on that, pixel-based letterforms—each representing different ice cream flavors—were digitally animated to create the impression of a flowing wave.
