I am Çaglayan Zorlu, a passionate typeface designer focused on crafting unique and innovative font designs. With a background in graphic design, I co-founded Ikioda, a design studio dedicated to enhancing brand aesthetics through bespoke typography.
My journey in typeface design began with a blend of self-directed learning and formal education in graphic design. Through hands-on experience and collaborations with diverse global clients, including Bayer, BASF, Nunhems, Pınar, Molfix, Molped, and Dyo, I have refined my skills and approach.
My design philosophy centers around merging functionality with artistic expression. Drawing inspiration from historical typographic forms and contemporary design trends, I strive to create typefaces that not only meet technical demands but also resonate visually and conceptually.
Specializing in both print and digital fonts, I excel in designing versatile and impactful typefaces tailored for various platforms. My technical proficiency encompasses expertise in font design software and a meticulous attention to detail, ensuring high-quality outcomes in every project.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I am committed to exploring new creative techniques and sharing knowledge with emerging designers. Through Ikioda, I aspire to push the boundaries of traditional typeface design and contribute to the evolution of visual communication.
