Modul72 is based on decorative wall elements used in the former GDR. Simple elements, called Formsteine, were assembled to form the patterns on walls, fences or buildings. These decorative walls can be found in all of eastern europe. I found some of these amazing patterns in the Leipziger Strasse that were built around the ground floor of big Plattenbauten (prefabricated slab-construction building).

The eye-like element was made of 4 pieces of the same shape that was mirrored and rotated. I played with this shape, arranged new elements and put them into a font − countless wallpapers can be created this way. I’m using it as a kind of logo type/CI for myself now.

And these funny friends can be found on the wall of a Kindergarten not far away …
