Cuarto is a trilingual publication focused on the adjacent fields of architecture, understood as an open discipline that intervenes in a tangential and cross-cutting manner at many levels in the cultural scene and the way of life.

The second issue’s re-design was oriented to improve four aspects left by the previous issue: simplify the typographic family, employ orthotypographic criteria for each language, take advantage of duotone printing, and improve the translation pages’ legibility. As a trilingual magazine that respects each article’s author’s language, typographic refinement was crucial for a comprehensive understanding of its complex content

Its cleaner design and better use of font and colour pairing, enables the reader to have a dynamic yet consistent navigation through the magazine’s pages.
