Lunário 2026

This lunar calendar for 2026 was Risograph printed using four colors (black, fluorescent pink, aqua blue, and yellow) on 90g/m² Polen Bold paper, DIN A3 size.

All lunar phases of 2026 are indicated in the calendar poster using a color-gradation scale: pure fluorescent pink marks the full moons, yellow for the waxing/waning moons, and blue for the new moons. The transition between phases is illustrated through the overlay of the base tones at varying tints, creating a tonal scale that repeats itself across the lunar cycles of the year. In this way the poster also doubles as a risograph color-blending guide. Over the moon icons, a layer of text was printed in black ink using Neue Haas Grotesk.

As a Risograph print, the colors of the calendar are separately printed with soy or rice-based inks that are applied through a stencil (master) made from banana-leaf fiber or hemp fiber. The result is a print with strongly vibrant colors, with unique texture and imperfections.
