The volume, which contains the narrative and cataloging of the best projects and activities carried out in 2022 at the Rome University of Fine Arts, is presented as a black edge painted block decorated on the cover with silver signs and symbols taken from details of the inner pages (images, typefaces, pictorial lines of the illustrations and data visualizations). The content is told from an analytical perspective where photography, illustration and typography become tools of investigation rather than narrative, of exploration rather than discovery. The layout and typesetting characterised by the choice of a single font, Tipiblu’s Sempione Grotesk for C-a-s-t foundry, take their inspiration from the graphic layout of medical x-rays. The photographic project presents some of the daily protagonists of the classes and internal offices in a taxonomic way and by the use of synecdoche. The 4-coloured illustrations and monochrome infographics alternate between the storytelling of qualitative data according to a human-centered approach and the rational visualization of quantitative data. The alternation of different media of representation, stabilized by a selective choice of colours and typographic elements, becomes a reflection for a slow and articulate reading of the complexity of contemporaneity within the academic and artistic context
