Type Specimens Manifesto
Introducing character#04 from Character Type
We’re always thrilled to receive new type specimens, and today we’re excited to share something special with you: character#04, the fourth edition of the specimag by Character Type. This unique blend of a type magazine and typeface specimen showcases Character Type’s latest creations, Early Sans and Late Serif.
In this issue, you’ll find The Alphabetical Room, an intriguing exploration into writing within a 3D grid by the talented Liad Shadmi. This thought-provoking piece pushes the envelope on what we can achieve with type in a spatial context.
The magazine itself is a tactile delight. It is printed with three spot colors on rough, natural paper. As a result, it’s not just a visual feast but a sensory experience. You can purchase it in our shop and easily add this gem to your collection!
