Nel

This typeface is developed with the designer in mind. Nel is a modern typeface with lots of options. The Regular version consists of Uppercase and lowercase letters, and quite a few other punctuation marks. The Nel Brickbuild is a playful stencil version and the Nel Dots is a dotted typeface. The Nel also has a light and heavy style with corresponding fun versions. Icons (an all icon font) has been its most recent member. There are nine options in total to mix and match while designing awesome prints, posters, logos, websites, or identities. One family. For designers.

Across

The rock art of the Holan Mountains is a cultural heritage of China and the world. It is gradually disappearing under ecological destruction. This designer plans to organise a digital art festival on the theme of Cross at Holan Mountain. They modernise the ancient rock paintings and express the theme through special materials so that this culture can be disseminated and applied in contemporary times, bringing into play the contemporary values of the ancient culture.

Archadia

The Archadia logo is designed to inspire stability and dynamism according to the mission of the brand. The letter A, here understood as the initial letter of the brand name, was designed starting from the elementary geometry of a triangle, the static form par excellence in architecture, but also recalls the main concepts of academy, architecture and also "abitare" (living in Italian). The chosen blue color finally defines the institutional and academic role of the brand, but also the colors and reflections of the Venice lagoon water, where Archadia Academy has established its headquarters.

Gung Ho

Gung Ho is an Americanism derived from Chinese and means "motivated, committed and working together in harmony". Over the years it took on different meanings, e.g. in World War 2 it was used by the Marines in the Pacific as a battle cry. In this story Gung Ho is a slang term for "hot" heated and overzealous, without regard of losses. The synergy of aesthetics and narration supports the tone of the scenario and the perspective on the events from the point of view of teenagers. The image captures the moment of menacing danger, youthful courage and pure released teenage adrenalin.
