New York Review of Architecture
Description
New York Review of Architecture is a critical architectural journal that represents viewpoints that have been historically undervalued or ignored in architectural discourse. NYRA has a particular sense of flat-footed humor. The design of NYRA reveals this sense of humor through illustration, wacky typesetting, and its quintessentially NYC mascot, the rat.
The recurring typographic backslant (found in the masthead and on every page) is NYRA's signature typographic move—a nod towards doing things defiantly differently... and a little, well, backwards. The printing is a study in economy—each issue is printed only with black (K) and yellow (Y), aimed to not only create vivid color in CMYK space, but to create an economic printing model for a sustainable publication.
