TYPEONE Magazine is a space where typography transcends design, becoming a lens through which we examine the world. Each issue explores how type connects with culture, business, innovation, technology, and social change. It’s not just about letterforms; it’s about the stories they help tell.

This volume includes my poster Aphroditean, an editorial centrepiece that reimagines classical myth through contemporary type design. Featuring Gallique, a serif by Emma Marichal, and Villanelle, a display typeface by Joseph Dennis, the poster stages a visual encounter between softness and strength, sensuality and control.

Inspired by the mythology of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, the composition plays with contrast, rhythm, and scale, turning typographic detail into emotional narrative. It’s an ode to expressive type as both voice and vision.
