Folks who have asked about the new body text typeface of Lucire can have their queries answered now: it is Slabb, designed by Kris Sowersby. I issued a release on it to some media yesterday and a longer one, which I would like Kris to OK first, will go out in the next day or so.
   I believe this makes Lucire the first consumer publication in history to have all-New Zealand-designed fonts. And why not? Rolling Stone goes all-American, as do Time and Newsweek. Of course, much of the lack of typopatriotism here stems from the fact that so many of our print publications are owned by foreigners. Posted by Jack Yan, 21:58  permalink
