Design DNA
The specimen is dressed as a printed travel guide: a scarlet cover panel, cream paper body and black spec pages, with Expo 67 primaries (orange, violet, green, sky blue) used as full-bleed poster fields. Every band is a strict grid of hairline-ruled tables — weights, languages, glyph sets — beside enormous single characters cropped past the edge. Archival material carries the story: transit tickets, postcards, flags, a monorail photograph, all photographed and angled as collage. Rotated colour banners of repeated diacritics slice across the page as dividers.
