O.K. Periodicals the magazine is:
...an inspirational magazine (that looks like a book)
…independently published twice a year
…a platform for established and upcoming creative talent
…pleasantly disruptive & always curious
In these uncertain times of economic and educational cutbacks, what of the old adage that from adversity comes creativity? In the aftermath of WWII, the exhibition ‘Britain can make it’ celebrated the potential of design as a tool for national recovery. The political struggles of the 1960s fuelled the portfolios of a generation of our most celebrated graphic designers. So where are seeds of creativity emerging from current struggles? What are the key points of tension today and what possibilities for designerly making and thinking are opening up as a result? Is tension vital to the design process itself?
- Speakers included Timo Arnall, Phil Baines, Jonathan Barnbrook, Zoë Bather, Tom Farrand, Amelia Gregory, Matt Jones, Alan Kitching, Gerry Leonidas, Vaughan Oliver, Paul Rennie, Lucienne Roberts, Steve Watson, Marina Willer, Rebecca Wright and Derek Yates.

- Demonstrators were Paul Antonio (calligraphy), Douglas Bevans (bookbinding), Mark Frith (stonecutting), Helen Ingham and Richard Lawrence (typesetting, linocutting, printing).
During critical tensions I made my first stone-cutting (an 'e'), thanks to the guidance of Mark Frith!

Mota Italic Gallery
Schliemannstrasse 34, Berlin.
The Latin and Greek Foxhill are designed to work harmonious together. It includes polytonic Greek, which is still used in historical texts, literary texts and poetry.
It is available in three weights, for small sizes up to 8pt - regular, bold and italic. The text weights regular, bold and italic are specially designed for texts set in 9 points and above.
The main characteristics of Foxhill are its short ascenders and descenders; this saves space since the leading can be reduced and more lines will fit the page, perfect for usage in religious texts. The large x-height in conjunction with round and open counters ensures legibility and readability in small sizes.
