Typomento

  • Kevin Rooi

I started "Typomento" (Type + Papiamento= Typomento) by taking my native language Papiamento and my goal is to try to make it visually understandable for everyone. It was also a way to present where I come from and my culture because I believe that where you come from influences how you think, create and live.

The use of handmade Lettering and typography is because in Aruba most art or signs are handmade and by using typography as a designer I can represent all these aspects of my culture and how they influence my designs. Using illustration, photography, animation and film are all skills I use as a designer.
