Weekly Design Roundup: Geometry and Grid-Based Systems
In this week's design roundup from Abduzeedo, ten projects are highlighted, demonstrating bold contrasts, structured alignment, and precise geometry across various digital products, visual identities, and book revivals. Among the standout works are Diesta by significa.co, which simplifies insurance payments; Ania Wieluńska's Kopalnia Magazine #2, which offers a new perspective on the World Cup; and Yevheniia Dutchak's Freaky Lizard, featuring a branding system with unique glass bottles. Other notable entries include FLIGHTMODE by Heather Lynn & Billyclub, Generative Type Experiments by Mariam Badawy that blend Arabic calligraphy with coding, and Mateusz Machalski's Bona Nova, a digital update of a 1971 Polish typeface, along with works from Elizaveta Kharchenko, Marco Corvasce, Il-Ho Jung, and CHENCHI CHEN.
