Linotype has revived the legendary typography journal, the Linotype Matrix. Once printed on newspaper, the new application now appears in magazine format. Issue 1 offers over 50 beautifully designed pages that reveal some of the hidden gems in the Linotype library. From "Fat Faces" to "Playing Cards," readers are treated with a fresh breeze of typographic flavour that is sure to appeal to type lovers everywhere.

Not only is the Linotype Matrix so rich in visual content, it is filled with articles that explore hot topics such as Prof. Hermann Zapf's Palatino™ Nova, and the development of sans serif types, as reviewed by Adrian Frutiger. The issue highlights several typefaces such as Sabon™ Next by Jean-François Porchez and the Compatil™ type system. It also offers other typographic curiousities such as the various applications of numbers in daily objects.

Brazilian designers Claudio Rocha and Tony de Marco teamed up to create a refreshing look that brings life and color to a world too often perceived as just black and white. For a limited time only, Issue 1 may be purchased at a reduced rate. Order your copy at http://www.linotype.com/matrix today, and just start exploring!
