RANE is a section of IL Magazine, designed to have a separate tone from the rest of the magazine. As described on MagSpreads:

The first and foremost inspirations for the project were some futurist magazines like Lacerba and Dinamo Futurista: the name RANE comes from a quote of a medieval poetry work (called L’acerba) from Cecco d’ascoli, which was used by the magazine Lacerba as a sort of payoff (the whole line goes as “Qui non si canta al modo delle rane”). Starting from there, we tried to elaborate a more modern language, incorporating infographics and visual storytelling to accompany the articles content or to build a parallel-yet-related story along them.

Christian Schwartz drew the custom namplate as seen above.

  1. Where is Graphik in use? I’m only seeing Tiempos and Founders Grotesk.

  2. The headline face is a new extra condensed width of Graphik not yet shown on Commercial Type’s site.
