Room for the letter

Sora Margin is a small studio notebook for type, paper and simple websites. We study proportion, ink and white space — not shopfronts or product launches.

Ink on the table.
Margins that breathe.

A working collection of letterforms, paper textures and quiet layouts. Colour comes from the material; the page keeps the rest spare.

02 / Studio craft

Then the page.

A short brief, a few careful references, then a clear visual direction. The work begins with language and proportion — not effects.

These pages are independent studies, not commissioned client projects. Photographic references are credited below; the writing and layout are original.
