Matter’s founders got frustrated by the amount of wet wipes, bottles of hand sanitiser, and disposable face masks and gloves tossed in the trash during the pandemic and decided to try to minimise the damage to the environment. On its website, the company says that the coating they developed provides antimicrobial protection for any surface and can be used instead of non-recyclable wet wipes.

Base&Bloom by NaumType, Rework by Sociotype Foundry and Circa by Pangram Pangram are charged with typography on the Matter packaging designed by Designsake.

A limited collection of eleven boutique residences in the cosmopolitan suburb of Prahran required brand, campaign name, positioning and relevant marketing communications to be created.

Self-titled created the name and campaign approach that spoke to both art cues and the creative and cosmopolitan atmosphere of Prahran. A signature blue made famous by French artist Yves Klein was featured across marketing to help cut through the sea of grey used by the competitive set.

Rework Headline (by Sociotype) has been used for the logo and headlines. Adobe Caslon has been used for the body copy / secondary text.

The new look of Neptune Lines had to respect its past and the legacy of the founder, but, above all, it had to respond to the contemporary challenges that a shipping company faces today.

Guided by this direction, Specter Design Group developed an original narrative that emphasizes Neptune’s differentiation from the competition in terms of technological advancement, employee safety, and ecological awareness. Three creative concepts lead to a common message: We always look forward to our destination, but we never forget what we leave behind.

The logo uses a custom version of Rework from Sociotype Foundry. This choice has a visual connection to the large modern car manufacturers, who are the company’s primary customers. In the Neptune Lines identity, Rework is supported by Fatype’s Beausite Classic for all text.

Issue #2 of Sociotype Journal, “Makeshift”, is an investigation of old things made new and new things made weird; a celebration of ingenuity on the hoof and ad hoc creativity under extraordinary circumstances. Typeset entirely in our very own Rework, with the upcoming Onsite for the magazine title.

Join us as we dig deep into the underground world of hobby tunnelling with the Mole Man of Hackney and go vert skating with Alvar Aalto. Come wander cowpaths of desire, shotcrete-encrusted mountainscapes, and the improvised landscapes of civil unrest. With Gorpcore upcycling, kintsugi-style vehicle repair, amateur conservation and serial art vandalism, we’ll look for life in the wreckage and new meaning amid the rubble.

Issue #2 features twelve essays, seven image-led articles, and a twenty-four page technical type specimen.

Rework and Gestura – both by Sociotype Foundry – are the fonts in use for HiGro, a mission-driven firm focused on “delivering above market financial returns alongside world enhancing outcomes”.
