Issue 109
Notes
Hi, all. I want to let you know about a bunch of new design publications we've added to Superlunar.
Designed by Studio HanLi, the specimen is a five-color, split-page book showcasing ABC Arizona, a sans-to-serif variable font. This specimen celebrates Arizona's countless combinations through its split structure and includes an essay by type historian Ferdinand Ulrich.
Sociotype Journal is a magazine and type specimen that showcases typefaces by type foundry Sociotype. The theme for issue #3 is Home. What makes a home? And how does power (or the lack of it) change the concept and the reality of what ‘home’ means? This issue offers a top-down and bottom-up tour of domesticity.
Openhouse is a biannual magazine about art, design, architecture, and culture. Issue 21 is inspired by the words of Erasmus of Rotterdam, ‘In Praise of Folly,’ the essay likening madness to the dawn of a new day, to the spark preceding the impulse to create.
Soft Minimal: A Sensory Approach to Architecture and Design
A self-curated monograph by Norm Architects that showcases a range of residential and commercial projects throughout Scandinavia, Italy, and Japan.
Stillness: An Exploration of Japanese Aesthetics in Architecture and Design
Featuring juxtaposing images from Japan with the work of Norm Architects. The book sheds light on the influence Japanese traditions have had on the studio’s contemporary projects.
All are shipping now, except for Stillness, which you can pre-order now and ships in October. Use code AISLEONEDIGEST to get 10% off.
