The first “half issue” of this independent typography and design journal, billed as an "occasional pamphlet of typographic smut." Edited and designed by Elana Schenker, and published in 2016 by Gratuitous Type. 8vo, pictorial wrappers, 64 pages, printed in copper ink with illustrations throughout, including by Jordy van den Nieuwendijk. Contents include an ode to Sister Corita Kent and her Rules and Hints for Students and Teachers, a perceptive 14-page essay by Jordan Hruska examining Enzo Mari’s Autoprogettazioni in relation to contemporary open-source design, and contributions on papermaking, the Walker Art Center, and the designer as shopkeeper. A compact, thoughtfully designed meeting of experimental graphics, creative pedagogy, and participatory design. Near fine.
