Panza Grotesk
Type Design, Layout, Conceptual
2018–2019
Panza Grostesk is a bilingual type design based on the character Sancho Panza from “Don Quixote”. The design draws inspiration from early grotesques, specifically Venus (1907), and also the realist Johnston (~1913). The regular weight and accompanying risograph specimen booklet were designed in 2018–2019. More weights and styles are in progress.

Ali El-Gasseir
and features the talents of Elijah Evenson and Linnea Ingalls.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Poster Design, Lettering
2018
I re-read “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” before sketching out ideas for this poster. I challenged myself to explore imagery beyond the ubiquitous donkey heads, flower crowns, and moons on the many other posters and book covers I found in my research.
