Monice Janson is a typographic designer. Her artworks make you stop and think for a moment. They emphasize where you are and tell you about the uniqueness of that place - Monice gives a place an identity.
Monice designs monumental art expressions with letters and language for residential areas, bridges, companies, buildings, schools and public space. Projects you may know her from are the bridge poem on the Parkhaven bridge in Rotterdam, the houses of Buitenplaats Syon in Rijswijk and the facade of residential and parking building BinckPARK in the Binckhorst in The Hague.
She shares her feeling for aesthetics and detailing with you, the client. She develops her typographic art in close cooperation with (landscape) architects, developers, housing corporations and municipalities.
Language and typography
Affinity for typography and sensitivity to language characterize her art. She comes up with the right choice of words or asks a poet or copywriter. The letters of the artworks are mainly designed by her, sometimes she uses existing typography.
