Analogue Books

Slanted is a quarterly typography magazine, running since 2005, covering typography, layout, illustration and photography.

This issue is all about contrast: the loud and the silent, the eye-catching and the inconspicuous.

Slanted present two photo series, which interpret the terms BOLD and LIGHT in a distinctive way: The historical photography of the probably most significant heavyweight champion of all time, Muhammad Ali (UPI/Bettmann/Corbis), as well as a critical photographical counterdraft to the “soft-washed” and alleged airy aesthetics of David Hamilton, created by Mareike Foecking (Düsseldorf).

Featured type essays by Jean François Porchez (Clarmart), Horst Wöhrle (Esslingen), Reinhard Albers (Constanz) and Nanna Funke (Münster), furthermore interviews with Ian Party (Lausanne), Ludwig Übele (Berlin), Eric Gill, Michael Horsham (London), Doug Wilson (Springfield), Raffinerie AG für Gestaltung (Zurich), Jost Hochuli (St. Gall), Thomas Lupo (Weissach) and Mareike Foecking (Düsseldorf), as well as reports by Michael Schmidt (Munich), Ian Lynam (Tokyo) and a musical travel report by Frank Wiedemann (Berlin).
