Fast Company, “The Most Creative People in Business” issue, Sep 2022

For the September 2022 issue of Fast Company, Creative Director Mike Schnaidt and Design Director Alice Alves assembled a refined editorial palette to present the magazine’s annual “Most Creative People in Business” list, honoring innovators across technology, healthcare, entertainment, and design.

The cover prominently features Cosi Azure Bold and Black by Nikolas Type, whose sculptural elegance and crisp modulation bring a sense of clarity and authority to the key headlines. Article sublines are in Cosi Times. The magazine’s text typeface is a customized Meret from TypeMates, and the logo is based on R-Typography’s Grifo, see this post.

The typographic system of the special issue is complemented by PP Monument Extended Black (Pangram Pangram), A2 Beckett Light and Regular (A2-TYPE), and Centra No. 2 Bold (Sharp Type / Monotype), creating a balanced dialogue between expressive display forms and precise editorial text.
