IDENTITY

Paratext Digital Editorial Identity

Identity for the digital editorial Paratext. The work is predominantly based around the logotype set in Bugrino by type designer Muhittin Güneş.

The typeface was selected for its structural combination of sharp and soft form, the synthetic and the eroded. The typeface was inspired by location (an isolated island in the Barents Sea), and this detail has a contextual relevance to the Paratext project.

Photography and digital interactive elements visually contribute to the range of projects under the editorial umbrella.

Paratext.xyz is due to launch autumn 2024.

The Paratext grid is a generative css element that explores themes within any given group of projects or editorial article/microsite.
