THE BRIEF
We started 2026 by setting some
goals. We then had some fun through
play. We finally turned
matter into meaning.
Now that the light is changing, new leaves are unfurling, and the days are stretching out, it’s time to welcome spring with:

Defined as “the process of developing or increasing in size,” growth is rarely a straight line.
It can be messy, exponential, and sometimes it happens silently behind the scenes. We want you to take this concept and turn it into a poster.
As always, what the poster says is entirely up to you. This could be about growth on a personal level, growth in your practice, growth in your environment, or simply celebrating the season.
How do you visualize "growth"? Do your letters sprout, climb, or swell? This brief is an invitation to explore development in all its forms:
The Introspective: Personal evolution. What doesn’t kill you makes your kerning stronger.
The Systematic: The multiplication of a grid, the unfolding of a form, or the scaling of strokes.
The Seasonal: A take on the transition from winter’s dormancy to spring’s chaos. Spores, roots, flourishes, and the wild persistence of nature.
Go down your rabbit hole – dig deep – we’ll be here to meet you with whatever you come back with.
Let it grow!
