The Insectarium opened in 2023, a permanent installation in the American Museum of Natural History’s Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation. The exhibition was art directed by Catharine Weese. Rayna Weingord served as the lead designer on the Gilder Center from 2021 until it opened in 2023. She worked with Eleanor Kung, Molly Magnell and the AMNH’s in-house team.

Rift and Aglet Slab, both monolinear with round stroke endings, support the approachably educational science center. The condensed proportions of Rift lend it toward titles, while Aglet Slab performs in exhibition-scale paragraphs. Atlas Grotesk is used for smaller-scale body copy, such as in the Insectarium Educator's Guide.

Manual verde. Casas más sustentables gastando menos can be translated as “Green Handbook. Spend less on more sustainable homes”. This book was edited by Tomás Errázuriz, designed by Sergio Ramírez, illustrated by Javiera Infante, and published by Ediciones Cosas Maravillosas.

The publisher comments on the book (translated from Spanish):

El Manual Verde aims to be a practical guide to reduce consumption and prolong the life of things in our homes, collecting experiences and actions aimed at a general public. Most of the proposed actions consist of small changes that do not depend on the economy of each household and are not always appreciated for their contribution to the conservation of resources.

Typesetting was made mixing two sans typefaces for display uses: Lira Sans Wide and Rift (an all caps Narrow family), plus the serif typeface Skolar for texts. An important aspect of the layout is the use of the Persona pictograms throughout the book.

A variant of the album cover with text

Chromakopia is the long-awaited and highly anticipated seventh (or eighth, depending on whom you ask) studio album by Tyler, the Creator. The ten days I waited for the album were agonizing but worth it.

Chromakopia’s aesthetic seems to take heavy inspiration from old monster films. Most evident is the sepia filter used in all branding, general darker tone, and the imagery of horns which evokes the devil. A slightly dim green is the album’s branding color.

“Chromakopia” is set in Poleno SemiBold, modified to have horns on the first and last letter. It is complemented by Rift Soft which is used on smaller text, likely to balance the hard, uneven look of Poleno.

Sarah Fisher designed Connect, a quarterly magazine published by Christ Church Southhampton. She writes on her website:

The magazine is designed to have a handful of short articles paired with a couple of longer ones, and is text-focused rather than relying on imagery. The typography is fun but easy to read and is designed to push the message of the article to the forefront by using plenty of whitespace, together with bold headings and pull quotes.

Rift is used for headlines and emphasis while Study is used for the body copy. Both fonts express a sense of warmth but function at different scales, making for an engaging and efficient typographic pairing.

The Winslow is a premium, boutique residential project by Devron Developments. Located in Toronto's coveted Lawrence Park neighbourhood, The Winslow residences comprise 68 meticulously designed suites.

From the earliest stages of the project, the ideas of community and connectivity played a major role in the brand strategy. Lawrence Park is a well-established and affluent community that values the qualities of time and a life well lived — all of which are conveyed through the brand identity.

Combining print, packaging, signage, social media, and digital advertising, Vanderbrand developed a carefully considered marketing plan designed to inspire and engage a small but targeted group of consumers, ready to downsize into their first pre-construction home. Using luxury retail spaces and comparative high-end brand experiences as inspiration, the creative direction of the brand naturally reflected the sophistication of the project itself.

The primary logotype for The Winslow uses Grenale, a classic and polished decorative font with high-contrasting forms. The same typeface is used for headlines in the brochure, paired with Circe for body copy and a few accents using Rift. Pairing this identity with a rich forest green and understated brass for the palette imbued the brand with a vivid, rich, and classic feeling of luxury.

Charmingly illustrated by Michelle Romo, Frankie’s Magical Day is a first word book that introduces a mix of the unconventional and everyday terms. Featuring everything from a post office and a castle to a bunny bandit and a unicorn, this fun-filled book contains hundreds of objects and places clearly labeled to help little readers expand their growing vocabularies.

Art director Alyssa Nassner chose Acier as the main typeface for titles and narrative story while Museo Slab is used to set words pointing to things. Rift Soft appears for the subtitle and the author’s name, while the “Frankie” flag is in Selfie.
