Ran De Vos

Ran De Vos (b. 1999, BE) lives and works in Brussels. She has a fondness for formal handshakes and informal footwear. Alongside her dedication to typographic research, her design practice is also indebted to the visual arts. Seemingly mundane symbols are imbued with associative undertones, while visual elements are detached from their usual referents. Little escapes her excessive urge to collect. Coffee remnants, facsimiles, CDs, letter dice and cut-outs make up an ever-expanding almanac.

Ran De Vos employs analogue reproduction techniques with a particular fondness for the margin of error. Her designs bear witness to the passage of time. De Vos’s rejection of a rigid grid, combined with an intuitive approach to legibility, results in intimate, polyphonic designs. Since 2024, she has worked as a graphic designer for KASK Antwerp.
