Edition

Edition is a personal project developed independently outside of any client brief. Edition is a high-contrast display typeface exploring the tension between classical architecture and contemporary editorial typography.

The Brief

While walking the streets of Rome and Athens I was inspired by the columns and pillar-like surfaces. The letterforms combine rigid verticals with softened geometric terminals. Designed for large-scale use, Edition emphasizes rhythm, spacing, and silhouette over conventional readability, positioning it for architectural, cultural, and luxury contexts. I had to answer my own question, how do I make te typeface feel modern while referencing something ancient?

The Solution

By simplifying the architectural elements of the roman and greek pillar into lines, the typeface aims to resembles and represent the very core of pillar geometry.
