characters#03

characters#03 is the third specimag by Character Type — a blend of type magazine and a typeface specimen. Their archive of collected typeface specimens and type magazines has inspired them to marry the two into one creative space and share some recent type-related thoughts and insights, while introducing Character Type’s newest typeface family Tragic Grotesk.
characters#03 is a double issue: The “Tragic Part” introduces Tragic Grotesk a 16 style sans type family inspired by 19th century Grotesk as well as technical typefaces such as DIN. The “Boring Part” showcases designers, illustrators and artists and their view of boredom.
