Identity
2022
The visual identity is based on a 10x10 px grid, echoing the idea that diverse book formats stem from a foundational grid. Using just 3-12 anchor points, the design achieves consistent yet varied shapes and
letterforms. Promotional materials were animated in multiple iterations and distributed across the website, newsletter, video title, and wayfinding systems.
