Arbetssamhället
Graphic design for »Arbetsamhället« by Swedish writer Roland Paulsen. The book questions the very foundation of society – the idea of work. Despite technological advances reducing the need for human labor, we work more than ever. Burnout and stress are rising, jobs are filled with “empty work,” and the retirement age continues to increase.
A book about labor – the title set in a typeface recalling digital numerals and rigid building blocks. Black and white dominate, cut through by a sharp pink accent.
