The magazine was launched by Fontsmith to celebrate a love of type and the craft behind making it, and explores all things type-based from a passionate and knowledgeable standpoint, drawing on the expertise of type designers as well as voices from across the creative industries worldwide.
This issue is once again full of great articles, including a look at the saucy posters of x-rated movies from the 1960s and 70s; interviews with tattoo artists about the intricacies of lettering onto skin, and why some will never, ever ink a partner’s name; how the humble typewriter had a huge impact on the way type designers approached their craft in the wake of new technologies; and everything from Milton Glaser to designing title plates (and why we shouldn’t be saying “mastheads”).
The design follows on from where issue one left off: a strong, consistent structure with a simple typographic approach, but with the flexibility to give articles their own personality.
