Work done together with two graphic designers and an editor with the intention of working on an experimental book, observing the playful side of the Italian modular typography of the early 900’s called “Fregio Mecano”. The result is Otto, a double palindrome and labyrinthine book, inspired by the shape of the number eight, deconstructed and interpreted on the basis of the modular nature of this typography.
