A few covers from the Warner Classics collection





The Warner Classics collection brings together over 100 albums, offering a comprehensive overview of the classical repertoire through landmark recordings from the Warner Classics catalog. This anthology highlights iconic composers such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Schubert, and Ludwig van Beethoven, as well as renowned performers and ensembles, including cellist Pablo Casals and the Berliner Philharmoniker.

The visual identity of this collection is based on a sleek and contemporary graphic approach. The album covers primarily feature Sofia and Sofia Condensed, chosen for their clarity and modern aesthetics. Their excellent readability and elegance contribute to a balanced and cohesive layout across the entire collection.

The artistic direction of this project was entrusted to the Paris-based agency Supernova, which developed a refined graphic charter emphasizing the artists and their works. The use of Sofia Pro, characterized by its harmonious geometric shapes, enhances the institutional and timeless nature of this edition while visually complementing the richness and diversity of the repertoire it presents.

The Supernova agency utilized capitalized titles to give the CD covers a strong visual impact. In terms of font pairing, the combination of Black and Regular styles, along with tight tracking, adds a modern touch to the entire collection
