Gustavo Gili hired TwoPoints.Net to design the jacket of the book "Lettering". The book explains old and new production techniques in typography. We worked with one of our typefaces, the "TpMartini", an interpretation of a neo-classical Antiqua, in order to make the book look neither too old or too modern. Additionally we let the typography emboss in a carton with canvas structure. The lively orange gave it a fresher appearance.

Lupi Asensio and Martin Lorenz founded TwoPoints.Net in 2007 and are paving the way for new and exceptional design work.

Their book Left, Right, Up, Down: New Directions in Signage und Wayfinding is just one exciting example of how the Barcelona-based couple combines intuition and ratio, the subjective and the objective, and the experimental with the traditional.

We trekked all the way up to the Catalan capital's mighty Montjuïc to chat about work that excites clients, work that hasn't been done before, and work that does more than just work.

The text was taken from the Gestalten.tv website.

Every typeface has its own charisma. Not only does its presence in design lend an attribute to the identity of a product or project, but also reflect the taste, personality and attitude of the designer behind. Most designers keep a list of favourites with no more than ten typefaces throughout their trajectory. Some make a statement by sticking to just one typeface in every piece of their work. The choice for typeface is the flag held high by designers.

Barcelona. Leaving three days of fever delirium behind, but packing my 38°C degree fever to take along, soaked into a never ending dizziness I find myself in a Taxi to Barcelona Airport, 30 minutes before the departure of my plane to Paris.

Barcelona, noisy as always yet so familiar and hospitable, is about to experience one of its most devastating storms in years. As if intuitive to what is about to happen, our plane escapes as fast as it can, shaken by winter clouds, jumping up and down through the cold cotton like world. It all seems a dream to me, moving like a movie I am watching, but not directing.

Paris - Charles de Gaulle is like landing in Terries “Brazil”. Lost in an 1980’s like science fiction movie scenery, no working bus service, no information, no signage nor direction, just mafia cab services and friendly French soldiers.

Antoine appears out of nothing, ready to create something exceptional, … and there it is again, the excitement of not knowing what is going to happen, entering a different delirium, a different cold cotton world.

Nearly 10 years ago we designed the visual identity and website for Largoland Music production, a company that composes music for commercials, cinema, television and television stations. It was time to design a new website that would meet the new possibilities, habits and technologies of today's internet.

TwoPoints.Net is directing the Elisava postgraduate program in Typography. Based upon the traditional northern European typography education, this postgraduate program concentrates on typography as a tool for the undertaking of visual communication projects.

The TpKurier-Calligraphic is another child in the TpKurier family and probably the first monospaced calligraphic typeface. The broad pen stroke in an angle of 40 degrees gives the typeface a good legibility even in small point sizes. In contrary to its brothers and sisters this version of the TpKurier has an adjusted lower and upper case "s", "g", "y" and "k".

The idea for the TpDuro goes back to a design by Albrecht Dürer from 1525. It shows a schema to construct a gothic lower case letter. Following the logic of the lower case construction, but not the traditional upper case letters of the gothic, we designed the upper case letters. We repeated the "pixel" of the downstroke (the rotated square module) as often as we could to intensify a contemporean aesthetic. Result is a strong typeface with steady rhythm, working well as a display typeface or for short texts.

In 2009 the design school Elisava moved to a new, larger building on the Rambla, and took this as an opportunity to make contact with the Associació d'Amics, Veins i comerciante de la Rambla (The association of friends, neighbours and traders of the Rambla). TwoPoints.Net, as directors of a postgraduate degree and teachers at Elisavas, were commissioned to create a visual identity for a possible application on the Ramblas for the World Heritage Site. The identity was launched on the 2nd February 2010, which was presented to the Mayor of Barcelona.

Some impressions from the Helsinki Design Lab Event in 2010.

The true importance of signage and wayfinding systems only becomes evident when they do not work. This book presents the unsung heroes of functional graphic design.

Left, Right, Up, Down presents current approaches to design that provide orientation in and around buildings. The book provides myriad examples that combine graphic design and architecture so well that the result elegantly meets the specific navigational needs of the situation. The range of attractive, experimental, low-budget, and flexible solutions make it an inspirational and insightful examination of current possibilities for practical applied information graphics.

When trying to get through masses of people quickly at a train station or airport to catch a connection, when looking for the right hospital ward in an emergency, or when simply navigating through large, unfamiliar buildings such as museums, convention centers, or parking garages, one urgently needs orientation. In such situations, signage systems help us find our way effectively in spite of stress, crowds, or circuitousness.

CoNTA is an internet portal of the Generalitat de Catalunya (Government of Catalonia) to report accidents in the workplace. CoNTA is the abbreviation of Comunicació i Notificació de Treballadors/res Accidentats/ades (Communication and notification of workers that had an accident). As soon as an accident happens, the companies based in Catalonia are obliged to report it. CoNTA is the portal that aims to simplify this procedure.

The c de c, short for club de los creativos, is an unique organization in Spain. Every year the c de c publishes an annual containing the best of Spain's advertising campaigns.

In 2010 TwoPoints.Net had the honour of designing the annual. The theme of the design is the impact that advertising has on us in everyday life, and how it it can get people talking.

Aamodt/Plumb Architects asked Constructing Communications —a collaboration of TwoPoints.Net with Irene Hwang— to design a pattern for the façade of the Hamptons Beach House, New York, USA. The pattern should make a reference to the vegetation the house is surrounded by. TwoPoints.Net drew a vector-based calligraphic, floral pattern which was cut-out in thick steel panels.

Latin America is bursting with creativity. As economies in this region have prospered, the demand for work by local creative talent has grown. In this context, an aspiring generation of designers and artists has been evolving and refining its own visual language. latino-gráfico presents a colorful selection of graphic design, illustration, and typography that explores one of the world's most dynamic and unique design cultures.

Neue invited TwoPoints.Net to illustrate Barcelona.

Apart from the stationery, these three booklets are among the first items to which the new visual identity of the Helsinki Design Lab has been applied.

The Natural Science Museum in Barcelona changes its model. On one hand most of the facilities – aimed at a wider audience – will be moved to a new location (Espai Blau Forum), with more space and opportunities (permanent exhibition, temporary classrooms, library, etc.).

Constructing Communication (CC) was founded in 2009 by TwoPoints.Net (Barcelona) and Irene Hwang (New York). They teamed up to offer verbal and visual communication to the architectural world.

Since we founded TwoPoints.Net in 2007 we were really lucky to have been accompanied by fantastic people. Using the logo of TwoPoints.Net they designed very nice posters for us, that we won't hide from the public. For the moment they are part of our private collection, but who knows what the future will bring.

When our client Banjo Music moved in to a new studio, we thought we'd make them a gift in the form of this poster. The poster plays with the corporate elements of the visual identity.

Banjo Music commissioned TwoPoints.Net to design their showreel – as they do every year. The new showreel was printed on white Chromolux with Pantone Silver and Lilac. Mmm... shiny!

Banjo Music wanted to send a special Christmas gift to their clients. To avoid the predictable kind of corporate seasonal giveaway, TwoPoints.Net decided to make something useful and so designed some Banjo Music wrapping paper, which their clients could use to wrap presents for work colleagues or loved-ones. A gift for all their gifts.

The british design magazine Creative Review asked five studios around the world to show where they work. Among them TwoPoints.Net.

TwoPoints.Net tackled surgical lights as the subject for the cover illustration of the German design magazine design report.

"We believe that the scale and complexity of today’s challenges are more effectively addressed when design is a leading voice coordinating many, rather than a service applied to pre-defined problems. With a specialized ability to bring synthesis to complex problems, to work from conception to implementation, and to visualize complex relationships, the strategic designer plays a lead role in addressing the issues faced by contemporary society. Helsinki Design Lab (HDL), a project initiated by Sitra – The Finnish Innovation Fund – fosters state-of-the-art knowledge, capability, and achievement in the area of strategic design in order to improve global supply of this essential 21st century problem solving skill."
