I wanted to create something real; something that would last; something I could put on my bookshelf. So, perhaps selfishly, I decided to launch : a printed magazine about type, typography, and lettering.

Over the course of ’ life, we interviewed 64 graphic designers, web designers, illustrators, and artists, and set some beautiful type specimens for their eight favourite typefaces. We also published forewords and essays by a number of thought-leaders in the design industry, making a source of knowledge as well as inspiration. Thanks to 1,000 supporters on Kickstarter , in July 2018, published a huge hardcover book , collecting and re-designing and re-editing all eight issues, which has since sold out. In March 2020, our fulfilment company unearthed a few copies of the magazine and the book during a warehouse clear-out, and we’ve now put them up on our online shop , available to buy until stock runs out.
