Today, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try my hand at Magazine Cover Design for the first time.
I focused on using bold and structural typography to guide the eye and create a strong anchor.
I’d love to know—does this minimalist approach stop your scroll?

Typography becomes more than language when it starts to behave like an image. Scale, rhythm, distortion, and space give words a physical presence, creating compositions that can be read, felt, and experienced before they are fully understood.
Love the bold and gritty approach. Great set!

The copy stays constant, but the type scale and card rhythm make the two directions feel genuinely different. I’m leaning left—the tighter headline width gives the first screen a calmer reading path.
