Over the course of a year, we’re releasing eight A3 (297mm x 420mm) artwork prints, each one limited to 100 individually-numbered editions. Our third print has been designed by Erik Marinovich from Friends of Type and as the print itself states, it’s a thing of beauty. Based on Erik’s hand lettering and then vectorised for a final polish, it’s printed using a combination of metallic gold ink that is then overlaid with white ink. The result — as you might expect — is stunning and finished off with our hand-embossed 8 Faces stamp. All orders will be shipped in April.

Buy Issue 4 PDFPrinted on heavy stock, with a foil-blocked cover, and pressed at just 2000 limited editions, each issue is a true collector’s item. 8 Faces will be more at home on your bookshelf than in your magazine rack. Who said print is dead?
The magazine has one core question at its heart — if you could only use eight typefaces for the rest of your life, which would you choose? — and poses this (and many others) to eight leading designers from the fields of web design, print design, illustration, and of course type design itself.
