Better Argument: Editorial Magazine Platform

The Institute for Classical Dialogue wanted a digital home for its magazine that felt as considered as its essays — editorial typography, clear categories, a writers directory, and commerce for the inaugural print issue, without the generic look of off-the-shelf magazine themes.

What we built
