»Typography issue« Grafikmagazin 04.21
In this issue we focus on design projects that are related to type design and typography. We present the new corporate design for the Society for Artistic Research, which uses customised type design to transport the societies lust for experimental creativity. The Bach Collegium in Japan draws its inspiration from old Antiqua letters and the magazine ­ is a playground for typographical experiments. We also asked kind of typographical knowledge students need and how designers can use typography in an inclusive and barrier-free way. Of course there are also some brilliant examples of type design to be found in our Grafik+ section: the typeface Favorit now comes with a great Arabic version and the foundry Tightype makes type design look easy, functional and stylish.
All this and much more awaits you in our Grafik+ section on »Typography«.
Content
Photographer Sebastião Salgado is well-known for his work on refugees, mine workers and people affected by famine, but he is also committed to restoring parts of the Rainforest. We present his latest series on the spectacular nature of the Amazon and the indigenous people who live in its forests.
In our section on design&research we follow up the question how digital spaces must be designed to enable democratic exchange. We as what graphic brutalism is and we present a student project, that makes the social and environmental costs of your wardrobe visible. New Work is another focus in this issue: How will urban spaces and offices change in the future and is moving to the countryside just a dream or can this be a role model for new ways of living and working?
In our Showroom we take a look at the work of the visual investigations team of the New York Times. These experts use video footage, comments or data available on the internet to research misdoings or to uncover war crimes. On a lighter note we follow up on the work of Ariane Spanier, a Berlin-base designer with a great love for typography. Murugiah is an illustrator with roots in Britain and Sri Lanka and his works are as colourful as they are stimulating.
One of the highlights of this issue is Joe Caroff. He turns 100 years old just as this issue comes out an has worked for many big clients, film directors and studio bosses in his career. No very many people know him, but his work is well-known to millions – he is for example the designer of the legendary 007-logo.

The cover
When we did typography covers before for novum magazine we always used clean-cut type designs often in black and white. This time we chose another approach and asked Murughia, an illustrator from Britain, to interpret type in his own inimitable way. The outcome is colourful, vibrant and unconventional and shows that typography is a fascinating visual playground.
We printed this cover in 4c offset on the uncoated paper Rebecca Design from Clairefontaine. The paper is unpretentious, but versatile and has a wonderful haptic. The right kind of material to accentuate strong designs.
