Legendary Ozon magazine, first lunched in 1996, is the first free press publication in Greece. This is the second issue that we are designing and art directing since reimagining the iconic publication back in 2022. The second issue under our creative direction is all about ‘Dreams’. As previously, our approach was to go back to its roots, think about all things that made Ozon exciting and mysterious and unexpected in the first place and then reinvent its personality. Because the editorial of the magazine focuses on vibrant, queer and urban youth culture, we adopted a calm, modernist set of grids and type styles with an occasional typographic spin. The whole magazine is set on the Apercu type family, created by London-based foundry Colophon but we have also used different typefaces for the opening spreads To celebrate Ozon new era and mark a departure from its previous glossy stock, we printed Ozon onto Munken, an uncoated and sophisticated stock.
