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.
With great pleasure we present a huge number of corresponding and related grotesque fonts, illustrations and projects. Worth seeing photo stories are »Heterotopien« by Karsten Kronas (Bielefeld), “A Marriage With God” by Anusha S. Yadav (London) and “Power To The People” by Christian Minke (Hüttenberg), who was on the way in Egypt recently during the revolution. The type essays by Flo Gaertner (Karlsruhe, Alexander Negrelli (Berlin) and Dan Reynolds (Berlin) deal with humanist sans typefaces. Numerous interviews with Erik Kessels (Amsterdam), Jonathan Barnbrook (London), Don Karl aka Stone (Berlin) and Pascal Zoghbi (Beirut), Christian Minke (Hüttenberg), Eiko Nagase (Tokyo), Yosuke Yamaguchi (Tokyo) as well as the third part of the Tokyo report by Ian Lynam (Tokyo) and a musical travelogue by Frank Wiedemann (Berlin) round up the stuff to read.
By the way: Slanted #13 and #14 are conceived as a double-issue featuring the wide field of grotesque fonts. Issue #14 will explore newer font-concepts in the tradition of American, neo- or geometric grotesques.
Beat That If You Can! – Slanted #12 – Women, Typography, Graphic Design is a stage for extraordinary and intelligent projects by women. This is not a very special thing. For our focus on visual culture it’s all the same whether a (typo-) graphic work has been realized by a female or a male being. But it’s undeniable and strange that still only very few women are visible in graphic design (more) and typography (less). We want to contribute to more visibility for at least some female type and graphic designers – design by women is at least just as well. Beat That If You Can!
With great pleasure we present the work of Ariane Spanier (Berlin), Julia Born (Amsterdam) and Verena Gerlach (Berlin), the photographic essays “Brides of Krishna” by Kalpesh Lathigra (dmbmedia / London) and “Female Marines” from the archives of the U.S. Marine Corps as well as contemporary typefaces, illustrations and graphic projects by female designers. Type essays by Laure Boer (Berlin) and Gerda Breuer/Julia Meer (Wuppertal) are dealing with the role of women in graphic design and typography and outline a corresponding history. Numerous interviews with Verena Gerlach (Berlin), Ariane Spanier (Berlin, Nadine Chahine (Bad Homburg), Veronika Burian (Prag), Laura Worthington (Washington), Kapitza (London), Geneviève Gauckler (Paris), Esen Karol (Istanbul), Akiko Kanna (Tokyo) and Susanne Baer (Tokyo) as well as the second part of the Tokyo report by Ian Lynam (Tokyo), a musical travelogue and a paper report round up stuff to read.

The Revolution won’t be set in Garamond – Slanted Magazine #11 — Monospace, Typewriter comes in revised structure and layout. Projects are confronted with each other, magazine sections overlap. The changes reflect our attitude towards contemporary 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 perspectives, 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 typefaces, 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.

The alleged cold and technical appearance of types base on matrix – topic of #4 – unfolds a special and wonderful individual allure.
Alessio Leonardi, Mark Simonson, Romibello & Yanone, and many other designer prove with its fonts that the equation matrix=technical cold is mostly a semantic connotation and illumine the technical roots. Illustrations, art activities, and photographic article show – on the interdisciplinary side – another dimension of this topic. Interesting interviews, a series of student projects and publications plus an attachment with extracts and information of the Slanted online blog complete the Slanted Magazine #4.
In the third issue of Slanted Magazine #3—Handmade, Custom, Script it’s all about the interface of different technics of design: the contrast of digital and analog aesthetics plus the transitions between everyday life and art.
Calligraphy (Petra Beiße), readymade (Thomas Atzenbeck), graffiti (Jürg Lehni & Ulli Franke), plotting, stencils, cutouts, illustration, painting (Verena Clary), or experimental photography (Marco Negri) are components of this controversy and were completed with interviews (including Erik Spiekermann and the Pfadfinderei) as well as the presentation of handmade, custom and script fonts.
»The Good, the Bad and the Ugly« – the second print issue of Slanted is all about the wild (typo)west! Essays and reflections about western types of Thomas Mettendorf and Dan Reynolds, Peter Brugger’s excellent type family Gringo, a Country Music review, TypoLyrics, selected western typefaces (Baseline Fonts, Garagefonts, Linotype, Misprinted Type and much more), photo series, and illustrations show a profile to the topic. Additionally, the best extracts of the weblog are presented as well as an overview about all reviewed magazines and interviews (CornelWindlin, Piero Borsellino, Büro Destruct etc.) on www.slanted.de.
The »number zero« introduces the idea of Slanted – the feeling of typography – and displays the typefaces of the type label Volcano Type. Beside a title story about the topic anticipation, the main part of the magazine uncludes interviews (including Jean François Porchez, Leslie Cabarga and Vier5), a photo series of the Bastard World Tour, illustration of type names, plus the presentation of diverse typefaces. Additionally, an index presents published articles from the Internet and portraits of bloggers in the category »fan blog.«
