Crafting a Typographic Identity for a Monograph​

For a 2022 monograph on Sameep Padora, our team collaborated with Architecture Live to create a cover that was typographically focused, distinct, and representative of Padora’s architectural style. We explored the expressive potential of letterforms, experimenting with a diverse range of styles, weights, and arrangements. The goal was to develop a design that would keep the branding intact while also allowing the typography to be the central visual element. The design process resulted in over a dozen distinct cover options, each offering a unique solution to capture the essence of Sameep Padora’s work.

Our contribution to the project involved extensive market research to understand design trends and audience expectations. We then developed and presented 12 distinct branding units for the book cover, each emphasizing a unique typographic approach. This rigorous exploration led to a successful publication that balanced a strong visual identity with a subtle nod to the Architecture Live brand.
