Shoplifters #10 2022

Shoplifters #10 looks at contemporary typeface design. What’s actually so novel about new type design? Producing a new typeface is almost trivial – it can be done in a day. But making it feel new in the wider sense, making it feel culturally relevant is the hard part. Actual Source’s magazine shows on 832 pages how glyph, font and type fanatics sublimate their typeface from ‘new’ to ‘excellent’. It features over 156 new, in progress, or unreleased typefaces by 114 designers.
