About the publication

Now in its eighth year of publication, TYPO aims to provide readers with a magazine that is systematically devoted to typography, graphic design and visual communication. The magazine's focus and content has earned it a firm place on the European and international markets:

The magazine appeals to design professionals as well as beginning designers and people outside the business in a clear and comprehensible manner.
Because it views typography and graphic design as an integral part of culture, it also monitors related disciplines (a broad range Â– from architecture and photography to philosophy and sociology).
In blocks dedicated to individual subjects, it maps out important milestones in the history of international typography and design.
Through original articles and interviews, it acquaints readers with important names and international leaders in the field.
It does print articles with clear opinions; it does not print press releases or covert advertisements. Paid advertisements are restricted to a small area (usually on the inside cover of the magazine).

TYPO Magazine's demanding criteria, freedom of opinion and independence from advertisers makes it dependant on something else, though: the reader. Only regular readers, and especially subscribers, make it possible for the magazine to survive in a market economy.
