The Stiftung Buchkunst critically monitors German book production. The “Most Beautiful German Books” – exemplary in design, concept and workmanship – are awarded prizes every year by an independent jury.
We designed a catalogue that captures the essence of the competition. Inspired by colorful papers, we created a vibrant register for the six chapters. A classic serif typeface in three sizes emphasizes clarity, keeping the focus on the jury's insightful—and sometimes humorous—comments.
The linen cover offers a tactile experience, highlighting the value of print in a digital world. Our design honors tradition while exploring new creative possibilities.
Softcover, 17,0 x 24,0 cm, 448 pages, ISBN 978-3-9822108-3-4, German.
