Parerga Studio
Bespoke Wordmark & Monogram

Private Commision, 2023
Matera, Italy.

Bespoke Wordmark and Monogram for the Italian-based film & music production studio Parerga.
The custom lettering draws from the material language of film: the continuous, homogeneous strip of film stock is translated into a system of clean, connected forms, where rhythm and repetition shape the wordmark. The monogram extends this visual logic, abstracting the geometric structure of a camera into a compact, distinctive mark.
