We are thrilled to share our design work for Art + Practice’s Year 12 catalogue and accompanying collection of merchandise. The expansive visual system reflects the incredible breadth of A+P’s work across contemporary art, education, foster youth initiatives, and community life in Leimert Park. 🌀💚

For Year 12, we developed an expressive typographic language using Kosmos (Good Type Foundry) and Owners (MCKL), pairing them with a custom-designed layering type treatment. The system shifts fluidly between bold fields of color and precise typography to create moments of contrast, emphasis, and surprise across essays, interviews, and exhibition documentation.

A closer look at our book design for Collective States: Worlds of Photography at the Art Gallery of Ontario, a publication celebrating 25 years of the AGO’s Photography Department Goose Lane Editions 📖✨

For this project, we designed a typographic system using the typeface Focal to reference a now-lost era of print production, tying directly into the book’s themes of preservation and transmission. The layouts intentionally shift from full-frame reproductions to close-up details, allowing readers to engage with the physical surfaces, gestures, and material qualities of the photographs.

At the center, a dedicated timeline anchors the collection within the historical and cultural context of the AGO’s growth.

Remembering Mary Heilmann and celebrating the extraordinary work she leaves behind.

It was an honor to design Mary Heilmann: Works on Paper 1973–2009, a publication that offered an intimate look at a remarkable body of work. Our approach centered on materiality, texture, and the tactile presence of Mary’s paintings and drawings, from a richly textured cover stock to close-up details that invited readers into the fibers, marks, and surfaces of the work.

The book was designed to be held, felt, and closely examined, an object in conversation with the material world Mary created.

We’re grateful to have played a small part in preserving and presenting this work with the care it deserves.
