Vogue Japan

Redesign of Vogue Japan’s print magazine and social identity. Leaning into the beauty of Japanese typography, the updated design stresses grids and bold letterforms. The result is a blend of styles native to 1990s Japanese magazine design with the freeform modes of expression embraced by a web-fluent generation of creators and readers.
