The artwork is a creative fusion of typography and climbing culture. The text is written in a serif typeface, but the serifs are replaced with colorful climbing holds, turning the typography into a playful visual metaphor. The arrangement of letters among the holds creates the impression of climbing a wall, where each text element plays a crucial role—just like every hold in conquering a real climbing route. The vibrant holds in shades of yellow, blue, and red add dynamism and energy, while the phrase "Every non-serif counts" highlights the importance of details in both design and climbing.

"This image combines the themes of a climbing wall and typographic expression, using a playful connection between visual and textual elements. The text "DRŽ SA! KAŽDÝ NESERIF SA POČÍTA" is arranged among colorful climbing holds and ropes, referencing the metaphor of climbing as an effort and the struggle to hold on. Typographically, both sans-serif and serif fonts are used, with the contrast between these two styles emphasizing the word "neserif," which carries both typographic and motivational significance. The serif typeface represents precision and tradition, while the use of the word "neserif" can be interpreted as a call for greater informality or boldness. Overall, the image is playful and engaging, with a well-chosen contrast of colors and type styles. The clear and prominent serifs give the text structure and emphasis. The composition enhances the visual dynamism of the image while also reinforcing both its content and message." ChatGPT 4.0, OpenAI
At first, I was skeptical about working with artificial intelligence. However, after my initial experiences, I realized that the mistakes and inaccuracies AI generates in its designs can be surprisingly inspiring. As a tool to support the creative process, AI has proven to be highly useful—it helps broaden perspectives on design and brings unexpected ideas. Despite this, I have found that AI-generated results cannot function as a final output on their own. Design always requires careful refinement and human intervention to achieve a professional level and aesthetic harmony. This experience has shown me that AI can be a powerful ally in the creative process, but not a replacement for the creative artist.

The artwork is a conceptual play on typography and symbolism, combining visual elements with a strong ideological message. It contrasts classic serif typography with the modern idea of "non-serifs"—a rebellion against established norms and traditions.
Matches, shown in various states (intact, lit, burned), symbolize the creative process as well as the destruction of serifs. Their placement within the text creates the impression that fire physically consumes the typeface. The minimalist white space around the composition enhances the dramatic contrast between the text and the matches, allowing the viewer to fully engage with both the symbolism and aesthetics.

"This minimalist visual with the text "Blazing Non-Serifs" utilizes the contrast between the simplicity of white space and the dramatic rendering of text and objects. Typography plays a key role here—the chosen serif font emphasizes the reference to serifs, while the word "non-serifs" acts as both a wordplay and a commentary on the debate between traditional (serif) and modern (sans-serif) styles. The symbolism of matches, some burning and others extinguished, reinforces the metaphor of a "hot topic" or an intense discussion about typography. Smoke and charred traces add dynamism and a sense of movement, balancing the static nature of the text. Overall, the poster is clean and focused on its message, with its simplicity and composition making an immediate visual impact." ChatGPT 4.0, OpenAI
