+81 Magazine, Vol.79 – Typography and Hand Lettering issue

+81 is a quarterly visual culture magazine at the intersections of fashion, Art and design. +81 invites leading and emerging creatives to collaborate on each issue. +81 introduces works, thoughts and attitudes created by artist that continue to redefine and transcend artistic boundaries.

In this issue:
This feature on the theme of letter design is actually our previous typography issue in four years and a half. We have four categories this time, from “fashion” typography both subtle and bold to handmade “sign painting” full of personality, creative “art” found in street and spaces, and “typography + photography”, a mixture of letters and photos that has been garnering attention in recent years in arenas such as Instagram. Aside from showing off a selection of highly diverse typographical work, we want to put the focus on lettering done by hand, making this an issue for experiencing the workspaces, implements, rough sketches, and everything else that goes into the work of these creators.
