Slanted Publishers SLANTED is a weblog and a print magazine about design and typography. Published by Slanted Publishers

Slanted Publishers is an internationally active publishing and media house founded in 2014 by Lars Harmsen and Julia Kahl. They publish the award-winning print magazine Slanted, covering international developments in design and culture twice a year. Since its establishment in 2004, the daily Slanted blog highlights events and news from an international design scene and showcases inspiring portfolios from all over the world. Over the years, more than 200 video interviews with designers and entrepreneurs have been made, forming an archive that bears witness to our time. In addition to the Slanted blog and magazine, Slanted Publishers initiates and creates projects such as the Yearbook of Type, tear-off calendars Typodarium and Photodarium, independent type foundry VolcanoType and other design-related projects and publications. Slanted was born from great passion and has made a name for itself across the globe.

From September 15–20, our exhibition TOO MUCH is shown during Zagreb Design Week at the Academy of Fine Arts (ALU).

TOO MUCH is a collection of posters confronting the overwhelming amount of everything: too much crisis, too much information, too much consumption, too much power, too much noise, too much missunderstanding.

We were asked whether we believe political posters can have an impact. We have to answer that question with another question: Are we supposed to remain silent? Should we, as artists, only make beautiful images? Should we censor ourselves, hide our opinions, look away?

Too much also means not enough. We need togetherness. We need exchange. We need human warmth. We long for the small things in life—for connection, for closeness, for the simple happiness of making something with our own hands.

Too much means, above all, not enough. We have to stay alert. The results in Saxony-Anhalt show us that democracy cannot be taken for granted. It is something we must protect together.

Stand up for diversity, respect and human dignity—and against racism, homophobia, hate and fascism.

💚💻🔤 Font management has rarely been a love story. For designer, video artist and motion designer Antonin Waterkeyn, recommended by Dominik Levitsky founder of FontBase, it became something more: a tool for discovery and creative exploration.

In a text by Lars Harmsen, Antonin shares how FontBase helps him rediscover typefaces, explore variable fonts and rethink his 40,000-font library. Originally featured in Slanted Magazine #47—Digital Tools. Already sold out after just a short time! New copies are expected in October. Until then, you can read the full text online.

⬛⬜OUT NOW: Slanted Experimental Type 4.0
Following the success of the first three editions, Slanted Experimental Type 4.0 continues the series’ exploration of innovative approaches in typography and graphic design. The new edition was created in collaboration with students from Fachbereich Design der Fachhochschule Dortmund, led by Prof. Lars Harmsen and Andreas Ruhe, and presents entirely new content that pushes creative boundaries.

The publication highlights design strategies that embrace accidents, imprecision, and unconventional methods. It showcases typefaces developed through unique concepts and systems, from AI-generated and experimental fonts to variable type design.

Slanted Experimental Type 4.0 invites readers to explore new territories, rethink familiar processes, and challenge the lines we draw—both in design and beyond.
