Meridian

Meridian treats each book as a sequence of rooms. Margins are generous; images breathe; text enters only when it adds context. The series should feel consistent on a shelf yet distinct inside each cover.

Three titles per year, different artists, different paper stocks, one printer. The system had to accommodate varied image ratios and essay lengths without redesigning from scratch each time.

A modular grid with fixed typographic roles: display, body, caption, colophon. Chapter openers use a single horizontal rule as a recurring motif. Colour is limited to black, warm grey, and one accent chosen per artist.
