Context

Positioned between the art book and the contemporary magazine, Konterfei explores how portraiture shapes identity across photography, fashion, painting and visual culture.

Each edition assembles artists, thinkers and subjects who answer differently — through image, essay and conversation.

Konterfei Issue 01 cover — chrome spine on black

A broader view on portraiture as a cultural force.

Approach

The grid is built around a generous margin — almost a third of the page — that keeps editorial text tight while giving photography space to breathe beyond the gutter.

Typefaces are intentionally sparse: one serif for headlines, one grotesque for captions and running text. The tension between the two carries the editorial voice.
