Signal of the week

Typography-led identity · 3 stories, +2 vs last week

Type is doing the heavy lifting this week. Thonik's Orkest Phion and Roberta's Pizza both let letterforms carry the whole identity — no mascot, no pattern, just voice. Worth reading them side by side. — John

Hakken (発見) is a magazine, a radar and a diary about design and branding, kept from Tokyo for readers everywhere.

A magazine, because every week has a signal worth reading slowly. A radar, because we count what the world's studios are talking about — typography, materials, heritage, colour — and show it as it moves. A diary, because a seal is set each day in that day's colour, and the days add up.

We do not aim to be complete. We aim to notice: the small finding, the quiet exhibition in Kyoto, the idea from a Copenhagen studio that would work in Osaka. Everything here links back to the people who made it; the images belong to their authors.

Hakken will keep changing. New sources, new signals, new ways of looking — a little better each week, never finished. If something here helped you see, that is enough.

Thank you for reading. ありがとうございます。
