Published by Tate through Octopus, African Art Now: Fifty Pioneers Defining African Art for the Twenty-First Century by Osei Bonsu is an expansive overview featuring some of the most interesting and innovative artists working today. Far-reaching in scope, African Art Now celebrates the diversity and dynamism of the contemporary African art scene across the continent today.

With an elegant and spacious use of Founders Grotesk, Leonardo Collina designed a contemporary and authoritative book that lets the images breathe. Its typography offers a pleasant reading experience, clarity, and class. The cover is set in Founders Grotesk Regular. Its Light weight is used for headlines in the book interior, and Founders Grotesk Text (Regular and Italic) is used for the body copy.
