#OutNow #Mini #SerifInUse

Old roots. New tricks. 🔠

Serifs carry a lot of history, but they’re far from stuck in the past. Some feel classic and authoritative, others warm, elegant, or playful. Mini Serif in Use looks at how that character shows up in real work, across branding, editorial layouts, posters, and digital design.

A compact continuation of Serif in Use, this smaller-format volume is image-led and continuously flowing, so you can browse by instinct instead of wading through technical breakdowns. Flip through and see how the same typeface category can feel timeless in one project and fresh in the next.

Pair it with Mini Sans in Use to complete the Mini Type in Use series.

Available first at victionary.com.

Special thanks to CoType Foundry @cotypefoundry and Pangram Pangram® Foundry @pangram.pangram for sponsoring the typefaces used throughout the books ✨ by @foreignpolicydesign

Forget the usual awards circuit. International Creative Awards is looking for the best creative and design work all across the world: the raw, the unconventional, the stuff that doesn’t play it safe.

I’m on the jury for Branding this year.

Deadline is 31 July 2026. Get your entries in. Tick tock, time is ticking.

Honored to be on the jury for this year’s @d_and_ad New Blood Awards, judging the @canva × @affinity brief.

New Blood has always been the one to watch — not for polish, but for potential. There’s something about student work that hasn’t been client-ed to death yet. The ideas are wilder, the point of view more naked. That’s the stuff that stays with you.

Exciting seeing the voice of this generation. ✏️

Adios 115KG, you’ve been good to us!

As a studio that helps brands be Future-proof *wink*, it’s only natural we move with the times. More time across cities and time zones showed us that our best work was never really about the four walls — it was always about the people, the connections, and what we build together. A co-working space just made sense.

So here we are.

We don’t get sentimental alot. But how can we not?

It’s been 7 years since we moved into 115KG. Somewhere along the way it became more than just a workspace. It held the people, the ideas, every high and every “we’ll figure it out.” It saw us through all of it.

This one’s for everyone who’s been part of FP and made it what it is today.

ps. We are just moving out. taken in Foreign Policy Design Group by @foreignpolicydesign
