Material Studies

About the project

A multi-page editorial site presented as a numbered issue, built as a demonstration of long-form layout. The home page opens on the current issue, an Objects archive collects material studies, Research and Stories carry the long-form pieces, and a contact page closes the loop — all in a dark, cinematic art direction set in Bodoni Moda and Manrope.

The problem it solves

Editorial hierarchy that survives a phone. A display face as high-contrast as Bodoni Moda and full-bleed photography both stop working at small sizes, so the type scale, measure and image crops are set per breakpoint rather than scaled down — and the issue structure keeps five page types reading as one publication.

Scope and limits

• Deployed as a demonstration: the issue, its studies and its stories are self-created content, not a running publication.
• Content is authored in the codebase — there is no CMS behind it.
