Narrative Planning Division of STUDIO HAZE

We build narratives with a spine, the kind that do not fade with the season.

Latest Release

The Rational Optimist

The same book, published in Korean and English together. The Korean edition keeps the warmth of a native tongue, and the English edition leans on classic typography for its structure. Set side by side, the two show how a book changes character when its language does.

We plan and publish long-form books, essays, and branded narratives. Given the choice, we side with writing whose context and feeling stay, over text that gets skimmed and forgotten.

We shape vague ideas into clear language so a brand's own voice reaches its readers intact.
