- Design Rationale
-
Written and designed for the discerning home. With reference to a wealth of notable cocktail publications from the early 20th Century, the design honours the genre’s historical aesthetic reimagined for the contemporary setting. The composition of photography stylised with candid warmth and softly coloured gestural illustration narrates the people focus, where cocktail recipes sit amongst handwritten bartender notes and lifestyle guidance on hosting. This rich content is curated through detailed page layouts, with playful attention to the smallest touch points. A complimentary focal typeface was chosen – “Thermidor” is a revival based on 19th Century French type designer Charles Boudoir.
