Individual issues are printed in one color on various colored stocks and heavily illustrated throughout featuring design and typographic related content including: corporate identity, designer and project profiles, letterform studies, typeface and book reviews, typographic distinctions, type puzzles, and more. Typefaces used are identified in the Colophon for each issue. 

All issues in near fine condition with a hint of wear to the earliest numbers. One issue with a 3-hole punch and previous owners signature and a few others with printers stamps.
