Thirty German-Russian students. One question: Wie viel Heimat braucht der Mensch? Their essays on identity, belonging and the meaning of home were published by the German Society e.V., edited by Hartmut Koschyk and Lothar de Maizière.
The original publication read like an institutional document. The redesign set out to give thirty individual voices a form that felt as considered as the thoughts within.
Thirty voices. One question. No single answer.
The typographic system gives each essay its own entry point — a distinct headline treatment — while body text flows through a shared grid. Sameness holds the book together; the details keep it alive.
The palette is deliberately restrained: black ink on warm white, with a single accent color used only at section breaks. Nothing competes with the writing.
