The New Antiquarians
Brand Identity
Feb 2024
The brand identity for The New Antiquarians is a refined editorial project that celebrates historical craftsmanship through meticulous graphic design and typography. Created by designer Elizabeth Goodspeed with photography by Brian W Ferry and Fujio Emura, the identity balances modern, minimalist layouts with an archival aesthetic. The visual system utilizes a sophisticated grid of detailed monochrome ink illustrations, depicting furniture and decorative motifs that highlight design heritage. The editorial spreads feature clean, precise linework, and artistic framing techniques that unify the documentary interior photography with thoughtful serif type treatments. Each physical element, from clothbound volumes to decorative border assets, emphasizes a commitment to classic bookbinding and editorial layout craft.
