The Four Pillars by Eli Durst
The Four Pillars (2022) showcases the work of photographer Eli Durst. Designed by Lewis Chaplin, the flexi-bound faux-leather hardcover utilises the swashes from WT Kormelink Italic. The interior uses a mix of both Roman and Italic. From Loose Joints Publishing:
The Four Pillars grew out of a relationship with a faith-based self-help group in Newtown, Connecticut, that Durst photographed over several years. Despite their ostensibly comfortable lives, these affluent suburbanites felt unfulfilled and directionless. They met weekly in church basements to discuss spiritual and secular strategies to find meaning and purpose, and to deconstruct the markers of success, progress and identity within middle-class American society.
