The book-like Slanted is the print extension of the Slanted.de blog, now a major European portal and forum for news and debate about design and typography. The highly collectable and comprehensive biannual magazine began life in 2005 to complement the blog with a survey of typography, graphic design, illustration and photography. Each issue has related to special theme or topic; the first 20 issues focused on specific typographic classifications but from issue 21 onwards Slanted Magazine now examines typographical and designs in relation to different countries and cities.
