Do you know fine typography when you see it? Poetry magazine is filled with wonderful words and wonderful typography. It’s designed by Winterhouse Studio in Connecticut.
A six-issue yearly subscription at $35.00 is a steal. This 5 3/4 x 9 publication is edited and designed with loving care. Highgrade book paper, perfect binding, an interior printed in black ink, and a deceptively simple four-color cover. The cover art is always an illustration, sometimes playing with the title.
ADCMW has a few designers who pay attention to typography in their work; Stephen Kraft, Antonio Alcala, and Robert Wiser come to mind, as well as the late and sadly missed Tom Suzuki.
Trust me, people who read can spot visual design errors from a mile away. So, if you are in doubt about how your typography looks, buy a copy of Poetry, which is published by Poetry Foundation, PO Box 575, Mount Morris, IL 61054.
$3.75 per copy at better bookstores.
Thank you so much for the shout-out!
Poetry is actually a better bargain than you think: it’s 11 issues yearly ( and one is a double issue!) for $35.
We’re all very grateful to you for recognizing our labor of love!!
