Inspired by pointed pen and copperplate calligraphy, Magasin is a high-contrast display typeface with a retro-chic twist. Laura Meseguer combined script sensibilities with a slightly condensed geometric structure, resulting in the idiosyncratic curves that softly connect the vertical elegance of Magasin’s forms. The typeface boasts a stunning set of capital swashes and a robust suite of OpenType features for better flow, including Ligatures, Stylistic Alternates, Contextual Alternates, and Final Forms. Due to its fine strokes, unique connections, and delicate detailing, Magasin is best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines and poster titles; Type-Ø-Tones 2013

Type-Ø-Tones is a typographic design company founded in 1990 by Joan Barjau, Enric Jardí, Laura Meseguer and José Manuel Urós. Although we mainly publish our own designs, we collaborate with many other typographers.
In our friend Jan Middendorp words: “They’re a loosely-knit collective of independent individuals, each with their own activities as graphic designers, writers and teachers. They have been making and publishing fonts since the early days of desktop type design and pioneered digital techniques that are now commonplace. Their fonts represent an approach that is, perhaps, typically Catalan: simultaneously adventurous and serious, witty and well-conceived.”
