    Manita Songserm, Thailand (2019)

    Manita Songserm (b.1990) is a Bangkok-based graphic designer who started the career in 2013 as an exhibition graphic designer at Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC).

Her iconic work is perceived through typo-eccentric book cover design and personal art for Typewriter project. Having been appreciated in typography herself, she tries adapting the technique with her work. It becomes a mixture of neo-geometric digital, sometimes scientific too.
