Kwikish is an African pantry brand bringing the richness of West African flavour into modern kitchens. London based founders Ade and Zikora love a home-cooked traditional meal, but in their busy lives, these recipes often felt too time-consuming.

Inspired by the vibrant vernacular world of the corner shop, a universal feature in communities across the diaspora, Kwikish's visual identity is built around a warm colours and and friendly fonts, Kilimanjaro Sans and DM Sans.

Kwikish is a direct challenge to cultural erasure caused by displacement and automation, inviting people to find the goldmine of value that already exists in West-African heritage and culture.

For its 40th Anniversary, the AIDS-Hilfe Frankfurt published a comprehensive book, celebrating four decades of fighting for visibility, justice and human rights of vulnerable groups and detailing its founding, development and impact:

For four decades now, AIDS-Hilfe Frankfurt (AHF) has stood for solidarity, acceptance, and support for people with HIV and the queer community. Under the motto “Diversity that lasts,” we look back on 40 years of struggles, change, and achievements—and at the same time look ahead with a clear promise: We are here to stay. Combative, united, and loud.

The book was designed by Marie Bauer, using Trax, paired with BBB Poppins TN. From her portfolio website (translated from German):

The layout is broken up by angled text, slanted elements, and different type sizes, allowing a large amount of text to be presented in an appealing way. Black and bright red on recycled paper.

We reimagined the visual identity for beckn, a universal protocol enabling open, decentralised digital ecosystems. The world carries interconnectedness in its pocket, yet continues to function in silos. Envisioned as free, open, and accessible, the internet’s promise remains uneven – one that beckn reimagines through open, decentralised digital ecosystems.

Having built beckn’s identity in 2020, the brand language was evolved from a quiet, minimal presence into one that feels bold, empowering, and deliberately counter-intuitive. Rooted in the metaphor of the rhizome – a non-linear, interconnected network – the refreshed system reflects how the internet actually works. At the core of the identity is an organic rhizome grid layered with a structured framework, balancing dynamism with order. A visual language built from three geometric forms circle, square, and pentagon – represents the ecosystem’s diverse participants.

Noto Serif forms the typographic foundation of the visual identity. Chosen for its open-source, multilingual foundation – supporting over 1,000 languages and more than 150 writing systems – it echoes beckn’s vision of an internet that is accessible, inclusive, and not owned by any single entity. Its considered, universal character reinforces the protocol’s role as shared infrastructure, while its classical structure introduces a counter-intuitive presence within a decentralised, technology-driven context. The supporting typeface, Poppins, provides a contemporary geometric contrast, bringing clarity and functional precision across digital interfaces.

Volver is a space in Barcelona where families can find balance and authenticity through music, yoga, and movement. According to their website (translated), Volver focuses on “body, play, movement […]  and unhurried shared time. A space where each family finds its own rhythm, observes more, and demands less.”

The identity was designed by local studio Instinto with a customized version of Gaya for the logotype.

Galeria Magiel is an independent, street art–oriented space that organizes exhibitions, community gatherings, workshops and parties. It is one of those rare places where you can genuinely feel an alternative way of thinking and organising cultural activity.

The book Galeria Magiel 21–25 serves as a summary of five years of consistently stimulating local culture and subculture. From this substantial catalog:

After five years of activity on Wapienna Street, the time has come for a brief summary. What was meant to be a simple zine has ultimately become a full-fledged book. This publication brings together everything that has happened here over the past years – from the days of the old Magiel, through the renovation, to the move to a new location.

Inside the Swiss-bound softcover, you’ll find over 450 photos and graphics across 288 pages in a 19.9×27.3 cm format. The book includes an extensive photo report from 70 exhibitions, sketch sessions, and workshops.

Magiel is also described in texts by artists who exhibited in this basement space, as well as by Iwona Kałuża, Maciej Przestalski, Marian Misiak, Łukasz “Cekas” Berger, Radek Łukaszewicz, and Malwina Nowak.

Concept by Maciej Janus. Editing and proofreading by Barbara Kręgiel. Design by Paweł Mildner.

The publication is part of a project co-funded by the European Union under the NextGenerationEU fund as part of the National Recovery Plan.

Bålder Quartet is a Finnish string quartet playing classical music together since their launch in 2018. In January 2026 they revealed a new visual identity, designed by David Matos / Shutupandance using Poppins throughout, plus Bloyd for the logo.

The stacked lines symbolise the core composition of a string quartet. It alludes to the two violins, the viola and the cello (and, by extension, the four musicians). Each line can also be seen as representing the four strings, common to all instruments in the quartet.

The logotype can take on different shapes by shifting characters, together or individually, along their vertical axis (i.e. baseline), evoking the sensation of sound, music, and rhythm. It can be animated in several ways — for example, reacting to sound as a backdrop projection in live settings.

Born in 2008 from the side hustle of friends Sarah Thornton and Brooke Johnston, The Finders Keepers has grown into Australia's most-loved design market, each year hosting festival-style markets in Sydney and Melbourne.

The Finders Keepers is where communities come together to shop, explore and discover the very best from designers, makers and entrepreneurs in our country.

The branding by Melbourne-based agency Young Folks uses Maroni’s Regular weight for the logo. “To balance playfulness with clarity”, they “combined Parkinsans for confident headlines with Inclusive Sans for welcoming body copy.”

For its branding, Nomad uses Sagace by Alexandre Créquer for titles and DM Sans by Colophon for texts. This branding takes place from the app to the website and global communication across social media.

The company describes itself as follows:

Nomad is a Brazilian fintech that offers opening of an international account, an international debit card and the possibility of making investments in the US market, in addition to other financial services and products in the USA for Brazilians. Its mission is to offer these services through a simple digital experience with transparent and fair rates.

Ordinary People designed the exhibition graphics and book for the 2023 Title Match: Dongi Lee vs. Sangwoo Kang at the Buk-Seoul Museum of Art, part of the Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA). Title Match is a signature annual exhibition at the museum, and for 2023, it brought together artists Dongi Lee and Sangwoo Kang. These artists deconstruct the familiar by either ‘borrowing what has already been borrowed’ from mass media imagery or by revealing the ‘insignificant and fragile figure seen from behind’.


From the works of Dongi Lee and Sangwoo Kang, Ordinary People distilled shared themes of ‘temporality’, which disrupts linearity, and ‘ambiguity’, which purposefully obscures the familiar. Inspired by these concepts, they reinterpreted established norms, incorporating ambiguity as a core graphic element throughout the exhibition. The accompanying book also embraces this theme, reimagining conventional book structures, reading sequences, and orientations.

The design combines contemporary Latin and Korean typefaces to support the exhibition’s layered narrative. Farmacia by Nguyen Gobber is used for English titles across both the exhibition graphics and the book, adding a distinctive visual character to the design. Aktiv Grotesk KR by Dalton Maag serves as a secondary heading typeface for English and Korean in the exhibition graphics, providing clarity and consistency across languages. In the book, Korean headings are set in AG Madang Display by the AG Typography Institute, while GT America by Grilli Type is used for Korean and English body text.

Presentable is a design studio website built around the idea of celebration as a cultural and emotional system. Typography plays a central role in establishing contrast between clarity and expression across editorial content, navigation, and large typographic statements.

Young Serif is used as the primary display typeface, most notably in oversized headings and key statements. Its sharp geometry and contemporary construction introduce tension against the otherwise restrained layouts, allowing scale and color to carry emphasis rather than ornament.

Poppins functions as a stabilizing counterpart, used for supporting headings and structured content. Its even proportions and neutral tone help maintain legibility across dense informational sections without competing with the display typography.

Outfit is used for body copy and interface elements, chosen for its clarity at smaller sizes and its calm presence across longer passages of text. The typeface supports the site’s editorial pacing and ensures consistency across desktop and mobile views.

The overall typographic system relies on contrast in scale, spacing, and hierarchy rather than decorative styling, aligning with the studio’s focus on clarity, restraint, and craft in both cultural and lifestyle contexts.

From Archive Books:

In Pedagogies of Travesti Liberation, Maria Clara Araújo dos Passos examines the interplay of education, identity, and liberation in Brazil’s travesti community. She critiques traditional pedagogical frameworks that marginalize gender nonconforming narratives and highlights the effects of systemic discrimination on travestis’ psychosocial well-being. Pedagogies of Travesti Liberation advocates for inclusive educational practices and emphasizes the need for affirmative curricula. Newly translated from Portuguese, this work contributes towards connecting political struggles globally and navigating the complexities of translation— particularly of the term ‘travesti’—across various geographical and political contexts, featuring a conversation between Araújo dos Passos and translator Natália Affonso.

The book was edited by Daniel Neugebauer and published by Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Gallery Print provided printing and binding. Anna Diagne and Chiara Figone did the design and layout for Archive Books, using Sature for headlines and cover, Aktiv Grotesk for subheadings, and Sabon for the body text.

Visual identity for Studio Soleil, a yoga studio in Brest, designed by Adèle Mahé, who writes:

The logo: a nod to vintage surf fonts, mixed with a touch of “cocktail” on the beach.
The illustrations: variations on the symbol, where the sun becomes Yogis in motion.
The typography: ultra bold, to break with the codes of the sector's thin and sensible fonts.

Inspired by movement, bodies, the sun and the ocean, this identity embodies a yoga open to everyone — free and alive. Here, there is no rigidity: only breath, intention, and fluidity.

Adèle used Mosa Black for the logo with a customized S, designed by Alexandre Créquer. Other texts are set in Velvelyne from Velvetyne and Rethink Sans, available from Google Fonts.

The script used on the flyer is Oooh Baby by Rob Leuschke.
