The New Nouveau - Celebrating Imperfection
In my design project I explore the connection between historical Art Nouveau and contemporary design trends to create a typeface that embraces imperfections as a new form of perfection.
The "New Nouveau" draws inspiration from the Art Nouveau movement of the 1880s to 1910s, renowned for its floral abstractions and flowing lines. Artists like Alfons Mucha influenced the aesthetic with harmonious connections to nature. In the 60s, the Art Nouveau saw a revival, particularly in the psychedelic scene. Experimental use of organic forms and floral design influenced posters, album covers, and graphic design.
The core idea is that "Imperfection is Perfection." Inspired by current design trends, especially "Chrome Type", I emphasize the beauty in the imperfect and work towards creating my own typeface. Artificial intelligence and creative thinkers like Stefan Sagmeister influence my work. I stress the interest in errors and artifacts that underscore individuality and authenticity. Experiments with ferrofluids and the Chladni Plate bring together art, science, and technology. The "New Nouveau" is an attempt to integrate these different aspects and bridge the gap between physics, aesthetics, and art.
In summary, the "New Nouveau" is a typeface that adopts organic forms and leaves perfection to chance. Its roots extend from historical Art Nouveau through design trends to physical phenomena. The beauty lies in imperfection, and the final font development remains subject to chance.
In conclusion, a quote encapsulates the core idea of my "New Nouveau":
"The human is not perfect, beauty lies in their nature."
