Typeface design for the voice of the world IDEA No.403

This special issue contains the work of a large body of typeface designers who transcend traditional typeface design and calligraphy practices; it approaches history through the reprinting and re-engraving of European typefaces; it features examples of custom typeface production and extensive collaboration, and also shows the development of unique applications and digital devices for a variety of typefaces and systems. The work of Omagari reaches beyond the realm of the conventional typeface designer to encompass a wide range of cross-disciplinary activities. IDEA is a quarterly magazine on graphic design and typography published in Japan.
