Publishing / Book Design
Self-initiated project

A typographic inspired variorum edition of 'On The Origin of Species' that highlights all the linguistic changes Charles Darwin introduced to the book since its first publication in 1859, by presenting them alongside the complete sixth and final edition of his book later published in 1872. The evolutionary format of this book allows you to compare all the alterations Darwin made over thirteen years due to his further understanding and testing on his own theories.

The 964 page book (21 x 13.5 x 3.8 cm) is printed on 30 gsm bible paper, and printed with black and special metallic bronze ink.  

Final copies of the book are available to buy here
