Starting with issue 78, OLD magazine underwent a full refresh of its visual identity and graphic design. The overhaul was driven by the desire to preserve the freedom and graphic experimentalism that have always characterized the publication, while reorganizing its elements to enhance readability, coherence, and dialogue with the digital environment.

The magazine’s new logo combines the sans-serif typeface Everett and the serif typeface Rizoma, reflecting the contrast that structures the magazine’s visual identity: restraint and gesture, clarity and expression. The result is a subtle and flexible brand mark, designed to coexist with a variety of visual content.
Inside, the sans-serif font–condensed and neutral, yet featuring distinctive custom details in its joins–supports the structure of information, while the serif font, with its neoclassical design, adds an organic layer to the composition. Together, they balance editorial precision with visual freedom in the texts.

The magazine’s layout was redesigned based on a new, more open grid that better organizes content without constraining it. Generous margins, clearer hierarchies, and a restrained yet expressive color palette contribute to a fluid reading experience and a strong visual presence.

The covers were developed to highlight the works and artists featured in each issue, with minimal interference from the logo and greater prominence given to the images. This project aims to update OLD’s language without erasing its history–maintaining an open space for collaboration, invention, and the blend of voices that defines its identity.
