 WIELS is a Contemporary Art Centre in Brussels situated in what was previously the "Wielemans tower", an example of modernist industrial architecture in Belgium, built in 1931 for the Wielemans-Ceuppens brewery. Each year WIELS reinvents its bespoke typeface designed by Sara De Bondt and Jo De Baerdemaeker for its new program.
 
In 2014, I was commissioned to design a version, which led to an exploration of Vic Carless' typeface Shatter. The seemingly straightforward cut-up approach of Shatter proved to be a challenge, as the condensed nature of WIELS typeface needed a rethinking of how letters would be cut and at which angle, to achieve the same look and feel as Careless' work. Design of WIELS 2014 program featuring the type cut.
