ISSUE 01 - VJ CAKO
Typeface designed by Jérémy Schneider - VJ Type Foundry
Cako is an elegant and chic serif font, which resembles a black outfit that can be worn by luxury fashion industry leaders (designers, editors, creative directors,...) in the workplace. Compared to the more common thin serif fonts used by fashion brands, Cako has thicker strokes and stems with geometric style to it, bringing a sense of formality (resembling a blazer or blazer-style dress) that is more suitable to the workplace.
ISSUE 02 - CHEEE
Typeface designed by James Edmondson - OH no type Co
Cheee is a highly decorative font with a casual, informal, and playful feel to it. The blobby, rounded strokes and relaxed feeling it brings resemble a hoodie or sweatpants that can be worn for friendly sporting activities, specifically in this case is playing basketball with friends (in contrast to an intense professional game of basketball).
ISSUE 03/THE PARTY ISSUE - PILOWLAVA
Typeface designed by Anton Moglia & Jérémy Landes
Modified and contributed by Vincent Wagner - Velvetyne Type Foundry
Pilowlava is a psychedelic, asymmetric, energetic typeface with unexpected or inconsistent focal points/leaning axis in each letter. The font generates a sense of drunkenness and activeness - of movements and dancing happening in an uncontrolled manner. The contrast between the blobby strokes and thin strokes resembles baggy pants matching with a tight spaghetti tube top, usually paired with vivid face paint, accessories, lightsticks in a dreamy, trippy underground rave.
