RISOGRAPH — BAUHAUS HYBRID PRINT VISUAL STYLE

VISUAL STYLE: A hybrid of risograph printing and Bauhaus design principles. The mechanical imperfection of riso overprinting combined with the geometric rigour of the Bauhaus school — two- or three-colour flat print with deliberate misregistration, applied to compositions of pure geometric form.

COLOUR PALETTE: Risograph ink colours in Bauhaus primaries — fluorescent red (#FF2400), cobalt blue (#0047AB), and black (#000000). Flat, fully saturated. Where red and blue overprint, a secondary purple appears — this is not designed but accepted. The misregistration is the texture.

GEOMETRY: Bauhaus primary forms — circle, triangle, square — arranged in strict compositional grids. Oskar Schlemmer figure geometry. Herbert Bayer typography. The forms are educational objects, not decorative ones.

PRINT TEXTURE: Risograph grain throughout each ink layer — slightly irregular, slightly textured, never a perfect flat field. The ink sits on the paper surface. The paper grain shows through thin areas.

MISREGISTRATION: Colour passes are deliberately offset — blue slightly high, red slightly right. The offset creates a shadow effect that is also a registration error. This imprecision is the signature of the process.

TYPOGRAPHY: Geometric sans-serif — Futura or Universal — in Bauhaus tradition. Type is compositional element as much as linguistic one.

No photography. No smooth digital colour. No decorative ornament outside the geometric system. Only the riso ink, the Bauhaus grid, and their productive collision.
