EDITORIAL DESIGN2023 POLITECNICO DI MILANO
Exploring the relationship between money and typography through a psychedelic progression of vision.
The project explores the relationship between money and typography through a fictional narrative, used as a pretext to closely analyze the typographic details found in currency. My task was to conceptualize, design, and produce a little publication along with a companion poster. The same pages that compose the artwork, when rearranged, form the poster itself.
The narrative unfolds through the inner journey of a protagonist, triggered by the discovery of a mysteri ous deck of “alternative” banknotes. This encounter sparks a psychedelic stream of visions, metaphors, and reflections on power, trust, and symbolism, elements I translated into a visual and typographic language. Each page marks a different stage in this mental voyage,
with typography evolving gradually from rigid and structured to fluid and expressive forms. The poster acts as a visual map of the entire journey, condensing its essence into a single impactful, psy chedelic image. Together, the publication and poster offer a layered exploration of currency as both a graph ic system and a cultural construct.
