“From Toys To Type” is an interactive installation that invites you to rediscover playful design. At the stations of the triangular table, you can stamp glyphs with toys - Lego Duplo, wooden blocks & CUBORO marble run - based on predefined rules.
The three different toys each create visually unique aesthetics, which are collected in three separate books as ‘Modular Font Designs’.

After three years of virtual or hybrid exhibition formats, a final exhibition was held at Fellerstrasse 11 in Bümpliz for the first time again in 2023. However, the pandemic not only led to the establishment of new forms of exhibiting. Of course, the crisis also had a direct impact on the studies of many students: They hardly saw each other on site, often worked alone and moved almost exclusively in virtual space. This also led to many students wanting to extend their time at HKB. This year in July, twelve students graduated from the Visual Communication programme. You can find their work here:
