From graphic design to fashion, photography, film, and music, +81 covers creative scenes around the world with a different theme every issue through interviews with artists along with samples of their artwork. +81 has also won much support for the distinctive editorial design of its pages. All articles are printed bilingually in both Japanese and English, which has lead to +81 being carried at booksellers not only in Japan but in many other countries in the Americas, Europe, and Asia as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this issue, themed “Beyond the Letter,” we focus on the possibilities of typographic expression that transcend the role of letters as mere tools for conveying information. Chapter 1, “Thought \u0026amp; Philosophy,” features designers including Karel Martens, M\/M (Paris), and Chris Ashworth, exploring their ideas and philosophies surrounding letters as visual expression. Chapter 2, “Inquiry \u0026amp; Practice,” highlights three practitioners in contemporary type design: Dinamo, Margot Lévêque, and Charlotte Rohde, each of whom gives letters distinctive individuality and form. Chapter 3, “Expression \u0026amp; Perception,” introduces artists such as Alex Kizu and Pablo Lehmann, whose practices expand letters into spatial and bodily experiences. Finally, Chapter 4, “Culture \u0026amp; Inspiration,” focuses on three media platforms, Slanted, TYPE01, and Another Graphic, all of which continue to approach typography as culture through their own unique perspectives. Moving between “reading” and “feeling,” this issue reconsiders the significance and possibilities of typographic expression that resonates with the viewer’s emotions and consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThought \u0026amp; Philosophy:\u003cbr\u003eKarel Martens\u003cbr\u003eM\/M (Paris)\u003cbr\u003eChris Ashworth\u003cbr\u003eHugh Miller\u003cbr\u003eTakenobu Igarashi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInquiry \u0026amp; Practice:\u003cbr\u003eDinamo\u003cbr\u003eMargot Lévêque\u003cbr\u003eCharlotte Rohde\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpression \u0026amp; Perception:\u003cbr\u003eAlex Kizu (DEFER)\u003cbr\u003eeL Seed\u003cbr\u003ePablo Lehmann\u003cbr\u003eCharles Sandison\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCulture \u0026amp; Inspiration:\u003cbr\u003eSlanted\u003cbr\u003eTYPE01\u003cbr\u003eAnother Graphic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTokyo Type Directors Club\u003cbr\u003eThe World of Tsuguya Inoue’s Typography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePages: 160\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 227 x 297 mm\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Softcover\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: Japanese, English\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2026\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: D.D.Wave\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"D.D.Wave","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42620563914837,"sku":"DDPE1868","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/5749\/files\/1_116d1830-4975-43f9-a1b7-c9681219b879.jpg?v=1782191728","url":"https:\/\/www.northeastshop.jp\/en\/products\/81-magazine-97","provider":"North East","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
