Bondi typeface & bookcover
The task involves designing a typeface for a suburb in Sydney, along with book covers, based on field research. For Bondi Beach, chosen for its unique sense of kinetic energy, the design incorporates abstract wave motifs and follows the traditional English four-line format to create a dynamic typeface that reflects the suburb's distinctive character.

The book covers harmonize with the typeface through a shared visual language. They feature illustrations of three key activities—sunbathing, surfing, and sand volleyball—to portray the relaxed, adventurous, and vibrant lifestyles at Bondi Beach. The folding grid is cleverly designed to resemble a towel for sunbathing, a net for sand volleyball, and waves for surfing.
