Slanted #13 – Grotesque 1 (To Create A More Graceful, Human Appearance) deals with contemporary and historic humanist grotesque fonts. Their origin goes back to the typeface for the signage system of London Underground in the early 20th century England, and to Gill Sans that followed London Underground. Depending on the cultural sphere or classification, the typeface is also called humanist sans, lineal humanist, semi-grotesque, younger grotesque, lineal sans-serif typefaces with dynamic form principle.

Behind the Zines introduces a cutting-edge selection of international zines and examines their role as a catalyst in the evolution of media and graphic design today. The book presents the broad range of existing zines that combine thought-provoking content with compelling design: from project-oriented portfolios and (pseudo) scientific treatises to playrooms where creatives can run riot and publications in which the printing process significantly influences aesthetics. It not only describes the key factors that distinguish various zines, but—through interviews with people involved in their production and distribution—also sheds light on various strategies for this evolving media form.

The sixth issue of NEWWORK MAGAZINE finds a range of artists and designers embracing sensuous beauty, imparting pure and sincere spirits in their work. This issue profiles stimulating artists who excel in infusing their work with the warmth of a human touch. Helmut Schmid and Hans Rudolf Bosshard share typography designs, whose elegance shine through the purity of their styles. Christophe Kutner’s fahion story, “Time”, is an anti-timeline of sorts; numbers incorporated in ensembles lend harmony and continuity throughout the anachronistic images. Pierre Neumann shares some of his most famous poster designs in his section entitled “90.5 x 128”, which comes from his standard poster size. His unexpected use of image and typography is stimulating and awakening, timeless and classic. We are in the moment with photographer René Burri whose stunning images quietly illustrate the history of the last half of the twentieth century, capturing the moments in our memories, history, and society dramatically, dynamically, breathlessly.
