Why Torpedo
Change begins with a shift in mindset.
Torpedo began in 2020 as a philosophy taken from the pool: a swimmer pushing off the wall, cutting through the water with as little drag as possible and carrying that speed into the first stroke. The house carries it into print and onto screen, with work that helps you think clearly, act with intent, and do more and do better.
Bold vision
We take on the big questions in science, technology, the world and how to live in it.
Radical transparency
Our briefs name their sources and grade their calls in public.
Innovation
New formats when the old ones don’t fit: briefs, live dashboards, a journal built around one theme.
Unrelenting dedication
Every weekday, every week, every issue.

On paper.
Bound, shelved and kept. Every book we print carries the chevron at the foot of its spine, at the same height, so the house reads as one line on a shelf.
