Designed by Christina Labey and published by Conveyor Studio, A Tree Grows in Queens is a meditation on the many ways in which trees manifest into other forms—from myths and memorials to meeting points and harbingers of luck. In this collection of essays and images, Magali Duzant takes inspiration from trees found in old-growth forests and the urban streetscapes of her native New York City. The book cultivates an intimate connection between the city’s ecology and heritage by examining individual trees and their interdependence with broader concerns, such as climate change, capitalism, and urban revitalization. A Tree Grows in Queens grafts written reflections, historical images, and photographs to kindle a deeper appreciation of the significance of trees in our everyday lives.

The book is set in Kalice Regular (designed by Margot Lévêque) and the sans serif Neue Haas Unica (designed by Toshi Omagari).

The Moon and Stars Can Be Yours is a freewheeling, far-roaming investigation into the contemporary world of spiritualism that began with Duzant’s obsessive collection of psychic fliers on the New York City subway system combined with ephemera from the NYPL Pictures Collection. In an age of increasing uncertainty, the wave of modern mysticism is always present, eagerly waiting to fill the void created by our digital lives. Duzant weaves together research-based writing with anecdotal stories, inviting the reader along for a ritualistic search for meaning, following the path of the Spiritualist and New Age movements.

Magali Duzant’s The Moon and Stars Can Be Yours is playfully designed with holographic foil and neon paper stocks inspired by the fliers found on the subway. Millionaire (Script, Roman and Italic) set together with a grotesk like Neue Helvetica is a beautiful combination: the contrast between both creates a bold, original and contemporary typographic language.
