The article profiles Elizabeth Goodspeed’s design for the book 'The New Antiquarians,' written by Michael Diaz-Griffith and published by Monacelli and Phaidon. Goodspeed’s design draws on 18th- and 19th-century typographic traditions, combining historic references with modern digital typefaces and a richly detailed visual system. The project balances maximalism and readability through thoughtful use of typography, illustration, and color.
BP&O features Pentagram’s design for René Redzepi’s book 'A Work in Progress: A Journal', published by Phaidon. Led by Astrid Stavro with Jake Gilbert and Susanna Foppoli, the project translates Redzepi’s creative process and seasonality into a refined editorial design using the Arnhem typeface and tactile materials. The result is a minimal, intimate book that mirrors the chef’s philosophy of openness and craftsmanship.
