Versus — Irma Boom

Versus is an editorial design project exploring opposition through form and narrative. Through two antagonistic characters, the project translates typographic rules, layout systems, and material form into a reflection on the boundaries between convention and experimentation in book design.

This volume explores editorial design through structure, hierarchy, and restraint. Inspired by Irma Boom’s practice, it follows classical book design principles, using typographic discipline and material precision to construct a controlled and coherent narrative system.
