While Slanted #13 dealt with contemporary and historical humanist grotesque fonts, Slanted #14 – Grotesque 2 focuses on current fonts that are in tradition of Lineal, Neo- or Geometric Grotesque.
They mainly have their origins in the time of the turn of 19th to 20th century. In 1880 Ferdinand Theinhardt designed the Royal Grotesque with four weights for the Königlich-Preußische Akademie zu Berlin, from which developed the Akzidenz Grotesque in 1918. Simultaneously, from 1905 to 1930, Morris Fuller Benton created fonts on the basis of Lineal Neo-grotesque: the Lineal Grotesque. Nowadays there can be observed different procedures of designing fonts, which can be named as quotations. A variety of fonts bear on historical models.
A huge number of these corresponding and related grotesque fonts, illustrations and projects are presented. The type essays by Flo Gaertner (Karlsruhe), Robert Schumann (Berlin) and Anna Sinofzik (London) deal with them. Worth seeing photos stories are “Almost Europe” by Miguel Hahn and Jan-Christoph Hartung (Frankfurt am Main) who visualize the situation of refugees in the Spanish enclave Melilla, as well as »Ein Abend auf der Wiesn – Pictures taken during the great beer rush« by Volker Derlath (München). Numerous interviews with Lizá Defossez Ramalho and Artur Rebelo (Porto), Edwin van Gelder (Amsterdam), Marta Podkowinska and Karol Gadzala (Krakow) and Hans Gremmen (Amsterdam) as well as an article about Kiyoshi Awazu as well as the 4th part of the Tokyo Report, both by Ian Lynam (Tokyo) and a musical travelogue by Frank Wiedemann (Berlin) round up the stuff to read.

Process Journal explains:
With so much ongoing debate of print versus digital, as a publisher of printed publications we felt it was our duty to comprehensively investigate the current state of digital publishing. After researching and downloading every digital publication we could get our hands on, we decided the best way to complete our research was to get some hands-on experience with designing and developing our very own iPad app. Given the huge number of requests we have received for back issues, it was an easy decision to release the out-of-print Process Journal Edition One in digital form.
Unlike many other digital publications the Process Journal digital release is not just an exported document from the original printed version; it is a standalone release, completely re-designed from the ground up, and features additional content, interactive image galleries and all of the written feature pieces from the first edition.
Admittedly, releasing our content digitally in its entirety conflicts with one of our primary objectives, which is about ‘capturing beautiful work in a printed publication’. But we believe this one-time experimental release has provided us with an invaluable perspective on the current state of digital publishing, and how it impacts what we do as independent publishers. Developing our own app provided us with a useful side-by-side comparison in designing for both printed and digital mediums. Without giving too much away, our findings were surprising, to say the least, and a full write-up of our research, observations and conclusions will be published in the upcoming Process Journal Edition Five.
Edition One Features:
Re-public, 3 Deep Design, Unit Editions, Heydays, Norm, Hofstede, Spin, Kim Holtermand, Mainstudio, SouthSouthWest, Kleber, Tim George and Cartlidge Levene. It also includes design responses from Dominic Hofstede (Hofstede Design) and Matt Judge (Design Assembly).
The official Process Journal iPad app is now available for free download in the appstore.
Process 4.5 is the first in a series of special edition Process publications.
Printed in only black on lightweight 70gsm Bond, Process 4.5 purposely contrasts the usual high production qualities of the quarterly journal, as well acting as a platform to experiment with different formats and production techniques. The publication’s content is a reflection and retrospective of the first four editions of Process Journal. Consisting of three major parts, the first a comprehensive essay written by typographer and design-lecturer Brad Haylock. The second a typographic analysis of each of the typefaces featured in editions one to four, including type samples and specimens.
And finally, they asked a selection of contributors from editions one to four the simple question: ‘what is your process’. Including responses from Brett Phillips (3 Deep Design), Michael C. Place (Build), Mason Wells (Bibliothèque), Tom Crabtree (Manual),Tony Brook (Spin) and more.
