Tempore, the utopia of subjective time.
Developed at the Politecnico di Torino, this editorial project spans from the conceptualization of a personal utopia to its full graphic and typographic materialization as a custom fanzine.
Conception
of the utopia
At the core of Tempore there is a personal utopia where time is deeply subjective—measured by the depth of experiences rather than ticking clocks. This concept comes to life through the encounter of Dean, driven by a fast-paced rhythm, and Edna, who embraces a slower, more contemplative tempo. Their meeting beautifully illustrates how two opposing rhythms can find mutual harmony and connection.
Graphic design
and layout
Visually, the fanzine captures this utopia through a symmetrical layout. Dean and Edna’s individual worlds unfold in black and white, converging at the center in a striking purple that marks their encounter. The design combines rhythmic typography with ethereal details: shimmering silver paper, abstract bitmap imagery, and surrealist touches. Interwoven with poetry, this visual journey guides the reader through an intimate and suspended narrative.

Editorial production and materials
Meticulously crafted, the fanzine’s sequence creates a perfect visual narrative. A careful combination of papers of varying weights and textures, together with intricate handcrafted binding, elevates the publication into a unique tactile object. Content, materials, and structure beautifully unite to give tangible form to the utopia of time.
