The apparently tireless Norman Conquest (aka Derek Pell) has started a new magazine. It’s called TYPO, which he describes as a “Journal of Lettrism, Surrealist Semantics, and Constrained Design.” He and farewell debut are the editors, and I’m on the masthead for “Special Collections.” I contributed a stereoscopic word ladder, as well as brief articles on Masonic cipher rituals, mnemonic alphabets, and monograms from the Italian Renaissance. You’ll also find delightful material on asemic poetry, French graffiti, summantics, Dada typography, and other topics from Marc-Alain Barbot, Tom Barrett, Michael Betancourt, Isabelle B.L, Restif de la Bretonne, Mamie Caton, Caroline Crépiat, Art Dandy, Ange Degheest, Jean-Pierre Duffour, Luc Fierens, Jack Granath, Isidore Isou, Amy Kurman, Claude Nicolas Ledoux, Giambattista Palatino, Raymond Queneau, Reese Saxment, Karen Shaw, Corinne Taunay, John J. Trause, Tristan Tzara, Cal Wenby, and Femke van der Wijk.

And you can find it on Amazon!

There’s an interview with Derek Pell here, and a review here.
