Commissioned by the city of Strasbourg as part of its UNESCO World Book Capital 2024 designation, Azimut is a series of three interrelated designs by Benjamin Blaess, Julien Priez, and Mathieu Réguer.

Each variant of Azimut summons a different point of view on typography and its relationship to writing, the shape of text, the form of the book, explains Dan Reynolds in the accompanying essay.
