Tam Sơn Journal

Published December 5, 2025

Under Layơ Lab’s direction, Tam Sơn Journal moves beyond marketing – it becomes a guide for cultivating taste, mindfulness, and a refined sense of self through intentional choices and appreciation. To express the themes of preservation, heritage, and value curation in daily life, Layơ Lab built a visual system grounded in three pillars: timelessness, artistry, and creative freedom.

Typography plays a central role in expressing Tam Sơn’s blend of heritage and modernity. Angie Sans elevates the journal’s luxurious character with its flexible, bold serif forms – tall, stylish proportions and elegant details that create an open, leisurely reading mood. In contrast, FK Grotesk brings a contemporary edge: its mechanical structure, subtle ink traps, and sharp corners offer clarity and accessibility, ideal for refined, slow reading experiences.

Together, these typefaces – especially in headlines – embody the convergence of tradition and modernity, heritage and evolution, premium quality and everyday relevance. Their harmonious contrast guides the reader’s eye and mirrors the calm, curated tempo of an editorial exhibition.

Each spread becomes a quiet yet dynamic journey, echoing Tam Sơn’s thoughtful lifestyle philosophy. Tam Sơn Journal invites readers to slow down, reconnect with beauty, and rediscover mindful luxury in an increasingly fast-paced digital world.

Tam Sơn Journal is a premium gift dedicated to the retailer’s clients at the Giao Điểm Tinh Hoa | Intersection of Mastery event, marking the brand’s 20-year journey in Vietnam.
