In 2018, Tsto returned to design the Flow Festival visual identity once again with the “Flow Font” as its base. The backbone of the typographic system direly needed a refresh after 7 years of extensive use. Tsto redrew the original “Flow Font” to be a bit thicker and bolder for large scale “Poster” purposes and commissioned Schick Toikka to draw a set of 3 typefaces based on the proportions of the old “Flow Font”.

The new type system also included a set of ornamental “Dingbat” symbols. These “meaningless characters” were used to create interesting type patterns around the text elements. The dingbats operated inside the typographic layout, repeating in the lines as text elements, but also escaped the lines to float around as large colourful ornaments.
