Info

Printed on heavy stock, with a foil-blocked cover, and pressed at just 2000 limited editions, each issue is a true collector’s item. 8 Faces will be more at home on your bookshelf than in your magazine rack. Who said print is dead?

The magazine has one core question at its heart — if you could only use eight typefaces for the rest of your life, which would you choose? — and poses this (and many others) to eight leading designers from the fields of web design, print design, illustration, and of course type design itself.

PLEASE NOTE: all orders for issue #4 placed before 8th December will ship in mid-December (this means UK and Europe orders will probably arrive before Christmas, but unfortunately we can’t guarantee it); all orders placed after then will ship in January.
