Jeth Torres is a graphic designer concentrating on brand identity, typography, and calligraphic illustration.
He also focuses on his personal style in calligraphy which is mainly inspired by Arabic strokes, Blackletter, calligrams, Western and Asian calligraphy, and Calligraffiti. He developed a digital calligraphy technique and coined it as "Mouse Calligraphy", a type which is made in Adobe Illustrator (Brush Tool) using a computer mouse.
Aside from his freelance and full-time work—creative director at an e-commerce marketing company—he is continuously exploring different letterforms and type styles for his own brand called Swash Originals, which promotes diverse subjects ranging from hip-hop culture to sports, dark visuals, and patriotism by expressing them through calligraphy and typography that are translated into various products.
