Shanghai-based designer Nagisa Chen of notadesign was the first to use Lava CJK in an editorial project published by Ventura / Guangxi Normal University Press, designing a series of nonfiction translations by Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, and André Gide. With his careful type choices and refined layouts, Nagisa set out to evoke timelessness and elegance—deliberately contrasting with the historical weight of the texts themselves. Lava is used for Chinese, combined with Mercure, designed by Charles Mazé, a digital revivals of Louis Perrin’s type, for the Latin texts and numerals.
