The Opéra, Vol. XIII, “Mythos”
The thirteenth volume of The Opéra revisits the nude as myth, ritual and revelation. Entitled “Mythos”, this edition draws from ancient tales to explore the body as both symbol and subject, blending photography, philosophy and poetry into a timeless narrative.
The publication is edited by Matthias Straub and designed by Studio Tillack Knöll (Stuttgart), who bring a refined visual structure to the issue. Typography is central to this composition: TWK Issey, a high-contrast serif designed by RIMASÙU Studio and published by WELTKERN®, is used throughout.
With its balance of delicacy and authority, TWK Issey captures the tension between vulnerability and divinity that defines the volume. Its sculptural forms echo the photographs’ quiet intensity and lend a contemporary grace to every page. A typeface that speaks with clarity, reverence and restraint.
