The bold letterforms are sculpted from primitive shapes—circles, squares, triangles—to mimic the reduced, yet poignant use of language unique to poetry.
Poetry Magazine is the oldest monthly poetry publication in the English-speaking world.
At the core of the publication's identity program—developed for the Poetry Foundation and Magazine by Pentagram in 2018—was the invitation for a guest designer to interpret the letters P O E T R Y to create a unique cover for each issue.
Andrea Trabucco-Campos drew the latest typographic cover by sculpting bold letterforms from primitive shapes—circles, squares, triangles. The cover is inspired by poetry itself: poignant, reduced, yet complete with meaning and expression.

Retrospective: London Design Festival
London Design Festival has been an annual celebration of the power of creativity for over 20 years. Since 2008, Pentagram partner Domenic Lippa has served as the LDF’s creative director, responsible every September for the design of a new visual identity. By inventively remixing a few key elements — typography, a signature red (“the colour of London”), and LDF's simple monogram — the program unifies hundreds of events while reaffirming London’s status as a global design capital.
