Periferia

A wordless book made from tiny stamps, Periferia, which means ‘periphery’ in Portuguese, is a São Paulo-inspired concertina picture book by Brazilian graphic artist Andrés Sandoval. Each stamp depicts particular elements from this vast, complex, wonderful and sometimes scary city.

The drawing, which can be read as a book or displayed open on a shelf, includes a key to the individual icons, and an introductory text (in English and Portuguese). Tower Block Books collaborated with graphic design studio A Practice for Everyday Life, who created a custom typeface, also stamped, for the cover. Read more about it here. E também aquiaqui!
