MAISON Ëis a contemporary magazine celebrating design, culture, and craftsmanship through carefully curated content. Positioned at the crossroads of design, architecture, fashion, and culture,MAISON Ëexplores spaces, objects, and ideas that shape a thoughtful way of life. With a timeless aesthetic, its visual identity is defined by the prominent use of theRizomatypeface, fromR-Typography, on the logotype and for the headlines. Text typefaces includeChamberí(Extratype) andSuisse Int’l(Swiss Typefaces), with some sprinkles ofDinamo’sABC Honeymoon.
MAISON Ë projects sophisticated editorial intelligence with continental European sensibility. The typography creates a tension between experimental modernism (through Rizoma's geometric play) and refined literary tradition, suggesting a publication that discovers emerging culture while maintaining curatorial authority and intellectual rigor.
Rizoma's distinctive geometric letterforms with subtle quirks provide memorable brand recognition while avoiding typical magazine clichés. Chamberí's high contrast and refined proportions offer excellent text readability with editorial gravitas, while ABC Honeymoon's playful yet sophisticated character adds textural variety. The Swiss precision of Suisse Int'l grounds the system with neutral reliability for extended reading.
This four-font system creates sophisticated hierarchy through contrast rather than weight alone. Rizoma's geometric personality against Chamberí's high-contrast classicism generates visual tension that mirrors the magazine's positioning between experimental and established culture. ABC Honeymoon provides textural relief while Suisse Int'l ensures typographic stability across diverse content types.
