Florian Karsten on how "coding helps with designing and vice versa"

Florian Karsten Studio work in between technology and design from their studio in Brno, Czech Republic. They create identity systems, typefaces, books, programmes and websites. We spoke to Florian to find out more about what they do and why they do it. EM: Hi Florian. For those that aren’t aware, can you tell us about what you do? FK: I run a small graphic studio in Brno, Czech Republic. We started back in 2014, focusing mainly on web design and graphic design. We’ve always aimed at art, culture and design clients so the projects stayed small and fun. Since then we’ve developed quite a broad set of skills, including type design, web development and creative programming. Currently, the most visible work is probably type design but creating websites is a big part of our identity. Completely custom mini-websites are sort of our speciality. Somewhat uniquely we also do programming for other studios (websites, image generation, automation).
