Kiosk

A publishing house that prints in short runs and sells from a single window. The identity is a numbering system before it is a logo.

Index

A number before a name

Kiosk prints between eighty and four hundred copies of anything it believes in, then stops. The identity had to work when the only surface available was a spine, a stamp, or a window sticker, so it starts as a numbering system: every title gets a run number set in the same position, at the same size, forever.

The wordmark came last and stayed quiet on purpose. On a shelf of forty spines, the number is what you read first, and that is the point of the shop.

Delivered

Identity, print system, stamps and stickers, a two-page rulebook, and a small site that does nothing but list what is currently in the window.
