Flexible System

The book covers a wide range of topics and there’s a lot of information that needs to be communicated clearly. With that in mind, we designed a thorough typographic system that establishes a clear hierarchy of information throughout, while also allowing for the kind of flexibility that was needed to accommodate for a variety of in-depth content.

A variety of infographics also needed to be designed in order to create a cohesive visual language throughout the book.
