About
Produced for a Mother Jones investigative piece on the gas industry's influence over American attitudes towards stovetops, the work combines lettering and illustration under art direction by Grace Moreni. The style references mid-century post-modern editorial design, suited to the magazine's editorial voice. This is a bespoke commission rather than a retail typeface release.
