Domenic Lippa has designed issue fifteen of Circular, the magazine of the Typographic Circle, a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers which formed in 1976 to bring together anyone with an active interest in type and typography.
Lippa has a long-standing relationship with the Typographic Circle, previously acting as its chairperson for two years. Circular Fifteen is the eighth issue of the magazine Lippa has designed in as many years.
Each issue of Circular is designed from scratch by Lippa and is produced with its own size, choice of papers, typefaces and layout, making each issue unique and highly collectible.
For issue fifteen Lippa developed a new logo, creating a roundel resembling a ‘C’ out of the words ‘Circular Fifteen’. This roundel also forms the basis for a limited edition poster, designed by Lippa to promote the magazine.
The cover of Circular Fifteen carries an image from Harry Pearce’s photographic collection of found type. The magazine features articles on design and typography contributed by the Typographic Circle’s network of members and collaborators, such as an Alan Fletcher retrospective written by Quentin Newark and an extract from Richard Hollis’ new book on Swiss typography.
