HGB Radio

Visual Identity

The student radio at HGB Leipzig provides an open platform for diverse explorations of music, sound, and the spoken word. To reflect this fluid and constantly shifting dynamic, I developed a generative lettering tool that creates continuously changing typographic variations of the word “Radio”.

Over time, this experimental tool evolved into a dynamic visual identity across digital formats, screen-printed merchandise, and spatial installations.
