codex: The Journal of Letterforms, Fall 2012

January 02, 2013/ Rae Kaiser

Each year I subscribe to one nice art magazine. This is mine for this year. I missed the first issue but could get it as a download to my iPad for only $8.

Issue #2 sets the bar even higher: More pages (180), more great content, and a complete redesign. Read about the iconic Pirelli Publicity of the 50s & 60s by such luminaries as Massimo Vignelli, Bob Noorda, and Alan Fletcher; discover the work of Czech type designer, OldÅ™ich Menhart, in addition to book reviews and previews, the challenges of multi-lingual type design by creator of Skolar, David BÅ™ezina; graphic design in the mechanical age â€” or how it was done before the advent of the PC, and much more.

This is a limited run and they go fast so I you want a subscription act now. John Boardley the founder of Codex also writes an interesting popular type blog ilovetypography.com.

Can't wait for an afternoon when I can just sit with my new magazine and a cup of tea.

I'm Rae. I make fonts and blog. I reside in a city on a lake but spend most of the time living in my head.

New fabric on Spoonflower!

I have 61 fabrics and 40 wallpaper designs on Spoonflower.com. They are a print-on-demand site. That means you can buy a yard or 10 in whatever fabric you want. Cool, huh?

If you are not a sewist you can also order many different things using this fabric. I like to switch things up seasonally and this is an easy way to do it.
