Design Practice
His artistic practice is centered around the innovative utilization of typography in his posters. Each piece emerges from a meticulous and original creative process, characterized by experimentation with shapes, colors, and compositions, resulting in distinctive graphic works. Brechbühl ingeniously employs typography to symbolize abstract concepts like zoom and collection, skillfully manipulating shapes and colors to articulate the underlying theme of each project. His meticulous attention to detail is apparent in the harmonious visual connections he establishes among letters and his adeptness at tailoring designs to suit the form and content.
