Tankboys’ core activities consist of art direction, research, print, identity and editorial projects. Alongside with that, they give lectures, hold workshops and run a publishing house called Automatic Books. All projects are treated with a deep focus on contents together with a conceptual approach that generate a specific language, expressed by a significant use of typography.
