Children’s book series, Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa

Calibre in use for a series of children’s books for Te Papa, New Zealand’s national museum.

The books are themed around letters, numbers and colours, allowing parents and teachers to read the books with children in a myriad of different ways – focusing on the artworks, practising counting, letters or colour recognition, or simply enjoying the quirky combinations of language and image.

Calibre’s rational simple geometric quality was the perfect balance of legibility and personality, and retained the uniquely New Zealand thread from the book’s content.
