I just bought a copy of this fresh new print magazine. (Yes, these days you need to mention that it is a PRINT magazine.) The designer and publisher Elliot Jay Stocks asks eight designers what typefaces they would choose if they could use only eight for the rest of their lives. I'm especially interested in Jessica Hische, Jason Santa Maria, Jos Buivenga and Jon Tan. Erik Spiekermann is also among them, he will mostly choose his own fonts. The design of the magazine seems to be up to par with the content, judging from the photos on the site. (Although I personally don‘t like the cover with eight portraits crammed into the negative space of a big eight.)
