Delighted to work with Het Bos to design their March and April program, giving us carte blanche to fill in their identity for the period.
A culture powerhouse
Het Bos is a culture hub for talent located next to the Schelde quay in Antwerp. Their program is always packed a variety of concerts, expos, food, parties, workshops, lectures, films, performances, co-working, ateliers and markets. A diverse hub of uniqueness and exploration where countless artists from different fields perform and exhibit.
Customizing Dak into Canopy
We used Dak Extended Bold as the base and added 3 custom serif styles.
We named the font Canopy, referring to the roof of the forest, the place in the sky where trees connect. A nod to Het Bos, Dutch for the forest.
Serif styles
We've utilized corner components to create Slab, Spike and Blob serifs.
Roots, Trunks, Branches & Crowns
The blobs, spikes, slabs and letterconnections form abstracted tree shapes like roots, trunks, branches and crowns. Combining them you get funky trees.
Always a pleasure working with Het Bos. Thank you Joery, David and Greg for allowing us to explore and go wild.
