Parapsych

Created for the ISTD (International Society of Typographic Designers) 2023 Student Assessment Scheme, this project explores the concept of spaces – specifically haunted ones – and how their meaning evolves over time. 

Parapsych is a fictitious tour company offering educational tours of South Africa’s haunted buildings. The goal was to reframe “haunted spaces” as historical and cultural experiences rather than purely paranormal or playful ones.

As a typographic design project, the work integrates type and meaning to create subtle tension: a palette inspired by the interiors and histories of each site, warped gradients reflecting heat signatures, and typography drawn from old newspapers and redacted files to evoke unease and curiosity.
