We both share a passion for books, and our studio produces at least a dozen books for clients large and small each year. Book commissions come from publishers, book packagers, institutions, or the authors themselves. What unifies our approach in each case is a sensitivity to the way a book's form infuses its content. To tailor our sense of craft to the book's individual needs, we use every tool available to us as designers, including typography, materials, sequence, color, scale, and imagery. Often, our love of language takes us beyond simple discussions with authors and publishers, and we become involved in projects at an editorial level.
