Design Roundup: Tactile Print, Monospace Type, and Circular Packaging
In ISO week 2026-W41, a collection of designs showcases the fusion of technical accuracy and natural materials. Lundgren+Lindqvist produced the 2024 Swedish Book Art catalogue using production leaves from award-winning books, secured with industrial fasteners. The Gothenburg studio also crafted a limited poster series by overprinting discarded calibration sheets from the Polestar 4 design book. Swiss designer Juri Zaech launched Fraktion Mono via Pangram Pangram, while the studio introduced PP Palma by Mat Desjardins and Francesca Bolognini. Sociotype Foundry unveiled Onsite Mono & Onsite SemiMono, and Skinny Type debuted Sonne. OlssønBarbieri created packaging for Stavanger Ysteri, Ragged Edge rebranded Papier, and FORNER STUDIO redesigned WeNatal. Underline Studio published a monograph for Les Levine, and KIND refreshed Olympic's branding.
