Issue 08 – The Japanese Graphic Design x Typography Issue

In a world where creativity knows no borders, cross-cultural perspectives within design have become more important than ever to learn more about, specifically, knowing how to expand your design horizons beyond the familiar realms of western graphic design and typography. Navigating the intricate maze of global design landscapes can become a daunting task, especially when hindered by linguistic barriers, not to mention the added sensitivity to cultural exchange that should be taken into consideration.

Positioned as a supporting guide, we’re delighted to introduce TYPEONE Magazine issue 08, our very first cultural exploration issue — delving into the world of Japanese graphic design and typography.

The editorial features we’ve curated for issue 08 aim to platform the thoughts and experiences of the individuals, as well as topics and conversations at the heart of Japan’s design industry, put forward by natives of its culture. All the while, simultaneously constructing lines of questioning that relate to the experience of our readership who are primarily based in Western and European countries, who like us, may have only a surface understanding of the Japanese graphic design and typography industry.

Armed with an understanding of both design principles and nuanced perspectives TYPEONE Magazine issue 08 serves as a valuable companion to equip yourself with a wider breath of knowledge about the cross-cultural design industry of Japanese design and typography.
