I just bumped in to this site doing some research for a job at the moment.
Those spreads look great, I particularly like the right hand spread with the ‘imagery’ mirroring the tight set body copy on the left hand page. I’ll keep a ook out for the magazine now.
@ Qhairunnisa Aziz: If you want to just make a typeface then the software I like to use is Font Lab – it’s quite an easy to use, powerful package for making Open Type or True Type fonts and I use it a lot.
The drawing tools aren’t up to much but it is far easier to just paste the vector paths you have from another program like Adobe Illustrator or Freehand. I prefer Illustrator myself.
