Het Suriname Schrift is a project founded in the beginning of 2024. Containing typographic research in the Surinamese: Afaka-script. With this project a new writing script was created, finding its origins in the Afaka-script and Latin. A hybrid script that depicts a character per phoneme or sound. Focusing on specific languages such as: Dutch, Sranan and Okanisi. Symbolizing a common bi-culturality and the century old intertwined, difficult relationship between the Surinamese and Dutch. Presentation at OSCAM will soon be online.

For this issue we put the bracket () on a pedestal and used this character as design element throughout the issue.
