No hidden message is a personal project about digital type and text. It's about explorations and experiments with letters, words, messages. My focus is on contemporary trends in communication, tools and media.

I am creating typographic approaches with message as medium and medium as message. Therefore the title 'No hidden message' has an controversial double-meaning: It says the work either carries no more message than the work itself or it means the message is as direct as text can be.
