Panadería, Issue 1
Recipe developer, writer, and baker Teresa Finney’s Panadería is a cookbook zine focused on contemporary Mexican-American baked goods, both sweet and savory. The zine contains an introduction, five recipes, and a guide to kitchen supplies, all across just eight spreads. EB Garamond was a great choice for body copy, as it’s heavy working even at small sizes, while Grenette adds a bit of pillowy softness for subheads and numbering. Victorian was used for headlines as a nod to motifs seen in Mexican ornament (without being too on the nose), while Nouveau LX’s condensed forms were evocative and effective for the long title on a narrow cover page. The lowercase e and r of Victorian were customized to enhance readability and avoid distraction. The type-heavy layouts are supplemented by beautiful, 1970s inspired illustrations by Zoé Maghomès Peters.
