Dragon Reactor is a tabletop role-playing game by Nevyn Holmes and S. Quinn Morris, published by Dinoberry Press. Its gameplay is inspired by mecha media like Gundam and Neon Genesis Evangelion.
The team tasked me with mixing the style of military guides and documents, with elements from mecha anime and medieval manuscripts. The zine seeks to look slightly chaotic and unrefined, as if it was a document that has been photocopied and annotated by the characters. Small decorations lifted from medieval codices were used through out the book, along the black and white illustrations by Emma Harvey.
From the cover (art by Charlotte Laskowski) to the interior, the typography choices are eclectic and (save the title, set in Respira Black) meant to be accessible and free. Jost* was chosen due to the prevalence of Futura in some documents that we used as inspiration.
