Editorial design and art direction for Offcut, an independent quarterly celebrating material culture.

The Brief

Offcut is an independent quarterly focused on material culture — the stories behind the things we make and use. As their design partner from Issue 01, we shaped both the visual identity and design language.

Design Philosophy

We wanted Offcut to feel like the physical world it writes about — textured, tactile, imperfect in the best ways.

Typography

We paired Canela Display for warmth and editorial credibility with a modified Founders Grotesk for body text.

Production

All issues designed for Risograph and offset hybrid printing. The constraints directly influenced layout decisions.
