Written by Malê award winner and Jabuti 2021 finalist Vinicius Neves Mariano, this dystopian addresses ageing through the concomitant history of three characters. In a society where elders don't have a place, the custom typeface takes inspiration from coffin ornaments.    

The brochure was designed following the most affordable format by publishing in Brazil. Hence, the personality of the project is in charge of the typefaces and its behind the scenes: Perdigueiro (custom display typeface) and Perola. 

Perola, the typeface of the internal pages, was designed by Marconi Lima. The Brazilian self-taught type designer made his name in the typography world, despite all the challenges of class, race and geographical location he faced in an unequal Brazil. 

The book is available at editora malê.
