andGrafische

andGrafische is a graphic design studio and research collective that specializes in visual communication, typography, and interactive media. The practice operates as a networked studio with collaborators in multiple countries, enabling cross-cultural design projects and open collaboration.

Originating in the early 2010s, andGrafische emerged from a collaboration among designers seeking to combine editorial craft with experimental type and systematized workflows. The name blends the conjunction 'and' with the Dutch word grafische, signaling a multidisciplinary approach that favours integration across disciplines.

The studio works across branding, print typography, editorial design, digital interfaces, and motion graphics. Its design method emphasizes modular grids, responsive typography, data visualization, and accessible design. Projects typically proceed from research and concept development to prototyping and production, with user testing and stakeholder feedback integrated.

Notable engagements have included identities for cultural institutions, open-source type resources, and redesigns of public information portals. andGrafische is cited in design discourse for its transparent process, typographic experimentation, and balanced aesthetic that marries form and function. The studio participates in exhibitions and publishes essays and case studies to contribute to ongoing conversations about graphic design practice.

While not a mass-market studio, it has earned recognition within independent design communities and industry awards for projects that emphasize clarity and expressive typography.
