Confessionalism

Published July 14, 2026

Confessionalism is a self-initiated series of ring-bound typographic cards created in 2026.

The project collects phrases, keywords, and confessions that lingered in the author's mind during late-night work sessions, reflecting on the realities of contemporary graphic design practice, particularly in Brazil, including creative fatigue, professional uncertainty, anxiety, and self-criticism. Each statement is presented on an individual card, set in large condensed typography that fills the format and reinforces the directness of the messages.

Printed in black silkscreen ink on red paper, the cards function both as a sequence that allows the reader to choose a different cover each time and as standalone typographic posters. The publication serves as a personal archive of thoughts, frustrations, and reflections accumulated while working as a Brazilian graphic designer.
