For many years, Alberto Herrero’s creative identity revolved around letters. Starting with graffiti at the age of thirteen and later working for almost a decade in advertising, lettering became both a visual language and a professional path. It felt familiar and natural, a continuation of the marks he had been…
At the height of a crowded international book fair, where hundreds of publishers compete for attention and tables overflow with printed matter, WIRWIR PUBLISHES chose a different approach.

There is something quietly radical about a handkerchief. Illustrator Kimberly Ellen Hall has been designing colourful cotton hankies that do more than take care of your nose. They bring a pop of colour to your pocket, reduce disposable waste, and inject a little humour into the colder months. At a…
Some experiences are almost impossible to explain. You can describe them, define them, even diagnose them, but that does not mean someone else will understand what they actually feel like.
