The project explores the relationship between typography and money through a speculative lens: what if there were a single universal banknote? We researched currencies from across the world, examining their symbolic, typographic, and iconographic elements, searching for recurring patterns and shared structures. This led us to a central question: how might a global currency look if it were designed by merging the visual traits of existing ones?
From this investigation emerged an imaginary banknote, built out of fragments of others and translated into a 64-page publication that, when unfolded, forms an A1 poster. The result is both a visual study and a critical reflection on the idea of a global currency, materialized in a hybrid editorial object.
Printed on uncoated paper in standard A5 format, with no trimming or binding—just a single elastic and one color—the publication takes the shape of an open, accessible system in which each page builds a possible vision of money’s future.
