Sonhos ao Sol: Miragens da Arte na América Latina
Brazilian publishing house Act. released a monograph dedicated to contemporary art in Latin America, titled Sonhos ao Sol: Miragens da Arte na América Latina (“Dreams in the Sun: Mirages of Art in Latin America”). It comprises art pieces created between 1900 and 2024 by more than 140 artists around the themes of the dream, the irrational or the fantasy.
The in-house designers chose Plain Form’s Ready Active for the title on the back of the book page numbers, initials, and the occasional typographically built ornament. The front cover features an abstract pattern created from the letters of the title used in an abstract overlapping central symetry.
The typeface used for all other typographical elements, from headlines, running texts and captions is Jean-Baptiste Morizot’s NaN Tragedy. Both subfamilies of Tragedy were used, the narrower and more contrasted Display for headlines and captions and the wider and sturdier Text for the long-running texts.
