'The Designer' required a total visual overhaul to accompany its re-launch and new name. The Chartered Society of Designers selected Design Typography to do the job.
  We tightened up the leading to maximise use of page space, selected an adapted 1840s poster typeface –– a slab serif Giza, for the masthead and a heavy, condensed headline sans (Railroad Gothic) for the headlines (inspired by Willy Fleckhaus's magazine work for 'Twen' in the 1960s/70s and Simon Esterson's 'Sight & Sound' in the 1990s). A contrasting serif (Electra by W.A. Dwiggins) delivered a body text that was legible even at small sizes. A radical revamp.
  CSD have been delighted with the results (the covers of some of the earlier issues are below) and we continue to design and art direct every issue, twelve to date.
