Book design

We design books and book series.

We believe that book design originates from the ambition to build a relationship with the reader. A book is more than just some text: it’s a project, and we believe that its beauty lies in its functionality. We curate the layout, typography and cover design, we partner with artists and illustrators, and we devise tricks to bring out the true soul of books and series. In short, we guide the publishing houses and authors to design original and valuable items.
