Due to the swift sell-out of Slanted Magazine #40—Experimental Type upon its autumn 2023 release and the high demand from numerous individuals inquiring about the availability of remaining copies, we have initiated a new call for submissions to gather additional content. In response, we have reprinted the entire issue in black and white, accompanied by exciting new supplementary material spanning 320 pages!
Experimental Type 2.0 delves into the realm of experimental design strategies in typography and graphic design. This issue showcases projects that incorporate accidents into the design process, works inspired by mistakes and inaccuracy, fonts derived from concepts or systems, and ultimately, designs that explore unconventional paths. The publication serves as a platform to present cutting-edge approaches and innovative techniques, ranging from processing to AI-generated typefaces or variable fonts.
Each featured work provides glimpses into uncharted territories, challenging conventions, limitations, and thoughts, pushing them to the next level. However, the journey is never complete. The discovery of new realms, technologies, and ideas continues to serve as a constant source of inspiration, research, and experimentation for those who seek to push boundaries and explore uncharted creative frontiers.
