Primata

Editora Primata is an independent publishing house founded in 2016 in São Paulo, Brazil, dedicated to promoting contemporary Brazilian literature. I collaborated with this innovative publisher to develop the complete visual identity for their poetry book collections, creating cohesive design systems that honor both the literary content and the publisher’s artistic vision.
