An old acquaintance of mine recently shared a link to the 8faces website in a post about typography. I am a huge fan of well-designed letters and great typography in general, so I had to check it out.
While the overall design and content of the magazine (judging from the website photos) were pleasing to the eye, there was one glaring thing that bothered me: the 8faces logo. It seems ungraceful, amateurish even, for a publication with otherwise solid, if a bit tame, layout and design. The tameness I can forgive, though, because it really gives the type samples contained within its pages a chance to shine. I just wish they’d revisit their logo.
The current issue (#1) is available as a £3.00 (around $4.80) PDF download (since the print edition is currently sold out).
