“Before the Law” is a parable within Franz Kafka’s novel The Trial, first published in 1915 in the Jewish weekly Selbstwehr and later in the 1919 collection Ein Landarzt. This brochure design seeks to visually interpret the parable’s themes of bureaucracy and existential struggle through an intricate, type-driven system. Layered typography, structured grids, and restrained yet deliberate spacing reflect the parable’s tension and ambiguity. The design mirrors Kafka’s stark yet complex storytelling, immersing the reader in the weight of the narrative while maintaining a sense of unease and inevitability.
