i’m mares*, i work across type design, branding, editorial, ui design, and packaging.
though these feel like different jobs on the surface, they all come back to the same question for me: how do things hold together as a system. from a single typeface to a full brand system, i take on projects at whatever scale they need. i’m based in bandung, indonesia, but i’m ready to work across time zones whenever a project calls for it.
what i love is the point where beauty and structure meet. a typeface is a system you can feel. branding is the same trick at a bigger scale, and getting that feeling right takes craftsmanship. it’s not optional for me. every curve, every space, every small decision earns its place before i let it go. i’ve been known to zoom in to 64,000% just to get one curve right. that’s just how close i pay attention.
if any of this sounds like something you’re working on, i’d love to hear about it.
you can pronounce my name as: mah-res rah-yes-tee-yahn
