Slanted #10 is a magazine dedicated to heavy metal typography.
Slanted was founded in 2004 with the intention to discuss and debate about typography, layout, illustration and photography.
A magazine talking about heavy metal typography is unusual, few words about it:
In “Heavy Metal. Lovers.” we look into blackletter fonts and their modern applications. Slanted presents the innovative work of Invisible Creature, historic type-treasures from the archives of Linotype and Klingspor Museum, the photo documentation “True Norwegian Black Metal” from Peter Beste etc.
The sections “Fontlabels, Fonts & Families,” “Fontnames Illustrated” and “Typolyrics” introduce contemporary blackletter fonts and designers from all over the world (Aeronaut/Georg Herold-Wildfellner, SAR-Lupe/David Millhouse, Adso/Bruno Bernard), followed by interviews with Alejandro Paul, Bernard Stein, Alex Trochut and Christophe Szpajdel and an interesting type essay by Horst Wöhrle. Furthermore Slanted Magazine introduces numerous (blackletter-)projects of professionals and students (Jeremy Hall, schmitz & wiesner, s=eee etc.).
This issue completes our 4-part-poster-series and forms now the 4-word-sentence ”Porn 4 Type Lovers.”
