Hachette has launched Food Lovers Travel, a collection of travel guides dedicated to the best culinary spots worldwide. Fagostudio designed the covers for the first six books: Rome, Seoul, Paris, London, Montreal, and Amsterdam.

The layouts were designed by Hachette. They use My Creative Land’s Roca​​​​​ for the title of this collection, with FinalSix by Type-Ø-Tones for the subtitle and Very Cool Studio’s Gooper for the yellow stickers. The illustrations feature type, too – see the captions for details.

The concept is based on illustrated facades representing these major cities, highlighting their culinary identities, architectural details, local specialties, and lifestyles. Food Lovers Travel aims to turn every trip into a culinary adventure by featuring the best places to eat, whether restaurants, markets, or speciality shops. Eating well is an essential part of the journey.

Monaako Script was in part inspired by French vernacular letterings from the early XXth century and in particular by Loupot’s logo for Saint-Raphaël liquors. Its letters based on parameterized axes, geometry and calligraphic forms offer new word images and are particularly suitable for headline and titles typesetting.

From UNITOM:

For her first book, Hanna Moon returned to her country, to Seoul, but also to Daejon, her hometown, 150km south of the capital. Back to her roots, her family, and her friends. A dive into a country which remains mysterious for most people, despite its pop culture spreading around the world. Intimate photographs of everyday life, of a digital generation that still flirts with the values of the past! Digital memories displayed on her computer desk, memories of small moments that form recollections!

Almost Something was published in 2022 by Patrick Remy Studio, Paris.

The Seoul Proposal is written to spur conversation and collect ideas about how Sharing Cities can collaborate, and to help stakeholders come to a common understanding and agreement about directions for collaboration, especially, responding to the Covid-19 and what will likely be its long-lasting effects.

Sandoll Jeongche 930 is used as the main typeface. The publication, published in Korean and English versions, is available for download (pdf).

Urbanlike is a lifestyle magazine focused on urban life and issues in Seoul, published by Urbanbooks since 2013. For every issue, the editorial team chooses a topic that revolves around us in the city life, for example hotels, meals, printed matter, stationery.

Issue 39 is about workplaces where creators like artists, designers, or photographers make something meaningful. In this issue, we used a number of different fonts to reflect the diversity of workplaces. Likewise, the texts and images have a wide spectrum. We chose each font to adequately express the character of the topic.

The issue’s title uses PP Monument. The Urbanlike logo is based on Futura.

The table of contents combines Gopher with Sandoll GothicNeo and Neue Haas Grotesk.
