Kumma Puutarha is an annual environmental art exhibition held at Kirkkolampi in Rovaniemi. The artwork Luotettavat is a collaboration with Marjo Hiilivirta. Three wooden flowers are located on a small island in Kirkkolampi.
Letters in the Forest explores temporary typographic practices in large scale. Located in the north of Finland, ever-changing weather with its distinct characteristics sets the terms and challenges for work and documentation.
Letters of Reflection consists of letters carved in the glistening snow, transforming the icy landscape into a canvas for poetic expression and allowing the natural surroundings to frame and interact with the theme.

Juho Hiilivirta
Rovaniemi, Finland
I'm a type designer at Helsinki Type Studio and graphic designer at Puisto. Sometimes I'm crafting art that merges letters with the landscape that surround me. On this page, I've collected a selection of my typography-driven design and art projects. If you're interested in working together or purchasing my typefaces, feel free to get in touch.
