Retro Zine

Contexto Histórico

Estética riso-print de zine underground — papel bege, acento verde, Bebas Neue + Caveat. Popularizado por músicos indie, artistas e comunidades culturais.

Quando Usar

When your project needs to feel made by hands, not committees. Retro Zine works for indie publishers who want their digital presence to carry the same tactile energy as their printed output. It's right for art collectives announcing shows, DIY brands that reject corporate polish, and anyone whose audience reads "rough" as "authentic" rather than "unfinished." Avoid it for anything requiring institutional trust — banks, healthcare, legal. The aesthetic signals counterculture on purpose.

Princípios de Design

• Embrace misregistration — offset elements by 1-3px intentionally. Perfect alignment kills the entire premise.
• Limit your palette brutally. Two spot colors plus the paper tone. If you need a third color, get it through overprint, not a new swatch.
• Paper texture is structural, not decorative. The beige ground should influence every color choice — nothing exists in isolation from the stock.
• Typography should reference mechanical reproduction: typewriter faces, hand-lettered headers, or tight grotesks that nod to paste-up layout. Never use geometric sans-serifs that scream digital-native.
• Let ink coverage be uneven. Grain, halftone dots, and density variation are features. The moment everything looks uniformly smooth, you've lost the plot.
