New Work: Monotype

BMD recently partnered with Monotype to launch Hot & Wet, a new creative project exploring how design can reframe climate conversations through optimism, imagination, and action.

At the heart of the project is Climate Chronicle, a microsite conceived with BMD’s creative leadership that presents optimistic “future headlines” as if climate progress has already happened. Drawing from a speculative exercise the studio uses in brand workshops, the project translates future thinking into a public-facing design system that makes sustainability feel accessible and actionable.

Through typographic storytelling, narrative framing, and intentional digital design, Hot & Wet demonstrates how everyday creative decisions, including the use of variable typography, can reduce environmental impact while strengthening emotional resonance. The work positions design not just as communication, but as infrastructure for climate-positive change.
