New and in the Shop: Artist Series no. 4! The first step, they say, is acceptance – admitting you have a problem. And Lorri Johnston definitely has a problem. “I’m almost ashamed to admit it,” she says, “but I’m a font addict.” It got so bad she was bringing in unauthorized fonts from her home computer to work. And while she eventually had to fess up, it’s not entirely clear that she was actually remorseful about smuggling in rogue typefaces. “They’re…so pretty,” she says. “I just love them.” And she wants you to love them as well – especially [...]

June 1957. Graphic 57 trade fair, Lausanne, Switzerland. All along the Montreux Riviera the linden trees are in bloom, their bright, lemony fragrance thick in the air like the sweetest perfume – until evening, when the gentle southerly winds, fresh off of Lake Geneva, wash the city clean. Over the course of the two-week event, nearly a quarter of a million visitors walk through the exhibit hall, taking in the work of type foundries and graphic designers and commercial artists and printers. Some look for inspiration, some for trends. What they get instead is a front-row seat to history. For [...]
