Artist of the day, February 20: Áron Jancsó, Hungarian graphic designer

Áron Jancsó (1986–2015) was a graphic designer from Hungary. As he said, building from scratch is how he likes to work, sometimes even designing every single letter of a poster. He prefers shapes and structures instead of effects. His style is a blend of modernism, street culture and calligraphy, but it is also very experimental. He's been always searching for new ways of creation.

He found his passion during his studies in Product Design at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and went on to learn the trade secrets of a typeface designer at the Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design. Although still at university, Aron gained significant international reputation and he was able to turn it into mandates.

His style is a cross between modernism, street culture and calligraphy and he also draws inspiration from other cultures. Beside commercial mandates, it is of importance to Aron to find time and space for experiments and just let his creativity flow without limitation. Aron is a ‘letter whisperer’: early on he realized that “some words have good rhythm and others don’t” and with his skills he helps letters and words to be able to dance in an orchestrated and harmonious manner.

Aron has designed some commercially marketed typefaces such as Dubwise, Ogaki, Qalto and Sensaway. Beside designing typefaces, Aron was also engaged with creating posters, exclusive T-Shirt graphic designs, corporate and personal identity designs.
