The repetitive typography of our favorite City Guides du jour

When Joseph Djenandji and Philipp Majcher founded 38HOURS in 2013, the travel experience got richer. Bringing their services to print, they decided to publish six city guides that alerted our typographic instincts. Designed by acclaimed Berlin based studio Node, the editions follow a simple, yet very effective format. Each of the A5 issues focuses on a different European city with direct references to the heritage of the place. Take Milan for example. “The typeface is a redrawn font called Sintex by Italian type master Aldo Novarese” told us Majcher. “The type reminds us of Italian 70s/80s bars – and maybe magazine and tobacco shops” he commented whilst the stylish repetitive typography brings the element of a very curated, on point, reference to the Italian fashion capital. The font and color of each edition convey a sense of insider-knowledge and capture the cities very accurately through typographic elements that inspire us to explore our habitat once again.
