The new headquarters of BFF Banking Group, designed by OBR in Milan, is defined by transparency, lightness and environmental sustainability. Reading the building meant reading those principles — and the book is built around them. Photography by Giancarlo Pradelli is printed on Magno Volume 150gsm; text sections are printed on Sappi Natural 60gsm, thin enough that type and images on the reverse show through. The typographic layout is developed around this intentional visibility: nothing overlaps with what is being read, but the transparency of the page mirrors the transparency of the architecture. Fakt Pro Blond carries the body text; GT Super Display heads each section — a reversal of the conventional serif/sans serif hierarchy. The book has a hard cover wrapped in Wibalin Natural, printed 4 x 4 colors, with sirio Color Yellow endpapers.
