editorial design

an original project of the book Wojna polsko-ruska pod flagą biało-czerwoną by Dorota Masłowska

A book designed with sans-serif typography. The simplicity and monochromatic nature of the project aim to emphasise the raw and direct message, as well as the unfiltered stream of consciousness of the main character. The story follows a young man, Silny, navigating the brutal and chaotic reality of a small Polish town. Love, violence, and drugs are portrayed through a language full of slang and vulgarity, reflecting the harshness of Poland's transformative 1990s.
