Check out our new Typeface of the Month: Cassis! Cassis is a generous, soulful sansserif with more interest in personality than perfection; a sharp and generously proportioned typeface that projects an affable confidence. It draws from geometric logic and historical precedent without being limited by either: Swelling curves, reaching terminals, and a teetering balance of stroke weights infuse its geometric...

When Government Branding Becomes a Battleground
We first met Eduardo Aires in 2016, in his studio in Porto, while working on the Slanted Portugal issue. At that time, Aires was already internationally recognized for the City of Porto’s visual identity system (launched in 2014), a project widely discussed as a benchmark for contemporary municipal branding and flexible identity systems. That early encounter framed our understanding of...
