The Recorder Issue 03
The Recorder is the original Monotype magazine— a heritage publication dating back more than a century. The Recorder has been redesigned and re-imagined to explore type’s role in today’s cultural context.
Featuring 127 pages on typography and graphic design, Issue 3 explores typefaces with a political agenda, a new generation of women working in typography, neon lettering, banknotes, stone-carving, and more. Features include...
• Jennifer Kennard explores how the history of banknotes is also the history of graphic design and printing.
• Journalist Laura Snoad examines typefaces with a political agenda.
• Amy Papaelias looks at a new generation of women in typography who are carrying on the legacy of Beatrice Warde, the original editor of The Recorder.
• Angela Riechers examines the typographic impact of neon lettering.
• Stone carver John Neilson delves into the secrets of an ancient craft.
• British road signs designer Margaret Calvert, the woman who transformed the typography of transport in Britain, selects her top ten favorite typefaces.
Issue 3 features illustrations from Zoe Barker, Ellie Foreman-Peck and Ping Zhu and cover imagery created by Ari Weinkle.
