VDH live at POV Budapest: Type Roundtable (EP16, English Episode)

In this special live edition of Vienna Design
Hour, I’m joined by four emerging type designers from
Hungary:


Ádám Asztalos and Bendegúz
Batke run their studio Ugly But Useless
in Budapest, while Laura Csocsán and
János Hunor Vári are currently working out of
Lausanne.


Together, we explore a wide spectrum of contemporary type design:
from the creative and economic challenges of developing new
typefaces, to the realities of the Hungarian design scene, and
the question of how to stand out today when so many new foundries
are competing for attention.





This conversation was recorded on September 12th, 2025, as part
of POV Budapest.A warm thank you to
Boldizsár Mátyás and Mátyás
Czél, the founders of POV, for inviting me and
supporting the recording on site.
