The Revolution won’t be set in Garamond – “Slanted #11 – Monospace, Typewriter” by German based brand design agency Magma comes in revised structure and layout. Projects are confronted with each other, magazine sections overlap. The changes reflect our attitude towards contempo- rary editorial design in analogue and digital times. This “new order” is a homage to the visual and to design. Orientation, information and sections still have their own right and place within the magazine‘s structure, but the changing of perspec- tives, the relations and associations are definitely not an expression by the medium of information, rather of openness and examination. It‘s a concept that doesn’t come under the hegemony of function, a feast of the visual.
With great pleasure we present the work of studio Moiré (Zurich/CH), the photographic essays “Images from the Dark Side” by Martin Miller (Baltimore/USA) and “A Crude World” by Paolo Woods (Paris/FR) as well as contemporary typefac- es, illustrations and projects related to monospace and typewriters. Type essays by Alexander Negrelli (Berlin/DE), Rieke Harmsen (Munich/DE) and Horst Wöhrle (Esslingen/DE) examine the aesthetics, history and connotations of typewriter fonts, interviews with Yves Peters (Sint-Denijs-Westrem/BE), Richard Kegler (Buffalo/USA), Georg Seifert (Berlin/DE) as well as a Tokyo report by Ian Lynam (Tokyo/JP) and a musical travelogue by DJ Frank Wiedemann (âme / INNERVISIONS, Berlin/DE) round up the stuff to read.
