Courier Magazine specimen from Soft Type

Hand-painted lettering created for the July/August 2022 Table of Contents of Courier Magazine, scanned from original painted artwork.

About

Produced as a one-off editorial commission, the lettering was hand-painted and scanned rather than digitised as a retail typeface. It accompanied illustrative elements for Courier Magazine's monthly print edition, directed by Sean Thomas. The work sits firmly in the tradition of expressive editorial hand-lettering rather than type design.

Classification

Hand-painted lettering scanned and used for editorial illustration; not a retail typeface but a bespoke lettering commission in a display, illustrative style.
