Two years ago famed Swedish paper brand Munken developed a new font which they subsequently made available for everyone to use: Munken Sans – a timeless font, inspired by 1960’s Swedish typeface Tratex.

After the release, I was approached by agency JUNO to ideate and develop a novel playground for this font which would allow creatives to explore its application in surprising new ways. They specifically asked for a solution that would fuse the unexpectedness of Creative Coding- and Generative Design-based visual exploration with precise control over the font’s properties. The result of our dialogue is The Munken Creator: A playground of unimagined possibilities, enabling designers to create visually animated and unique messages. It is an invitation to inspire cooperation among creatives. And a challenge of how we preserve the heritage of design while simultaneously reinventing its tools for a hybrid future.

The Prelude No.1 in C Major is arguably the most famous of Johann Sebastian Bach’s movements for the Well-Tempered Clavier and quite certainly one of the most influential and defining musical texts in history altogether. To this date, its inherent ideas, patterns and structures are continuing to shape modern music and the way we perceive and create musical compositions. Its harmonic, monophonic progression is almost mathematical in construction and of a timelessness only few composers have achieved. This is why its deceptive simplicity and inherent beauty lends itself to be appreciated and rediscovered in this series of interactive, audio-visual explorations.
