The Food Issue, a one-off publication designed to show off Commercial Type’s extensive range
of text faces. Type specimens have traditionally functioned as ephemeral objects meant to be
looked at rather than read; with this project, Commercial Type wanted to try something a
little different. Working with editor Caren Litherland, we commissioned six different types
of articles from writers whose work they admire (as well as the proprietors of a Malaysian
snack shop around the corner from their office), ranging from short fiction to local news to
a “listicle,” all loosely threaded together around the theme of eating. You
can view the site here.
