I like the style of his work, and how he uses simplistic colours: red, black and white. You can see in both examples how the use of grids makes everything look proportional. The square shaped font, is very symmetrical.

New Typefaces:

These fonts focused on the design, and didn’t include any embellishments. It allows the viewer to view the work, without distractions.
