(From the publisher) 'Type Life is a series of printed publications about design, typography and lifestyle by Swiss Typefaces. Type Life is a celebration of style and a wellspring of inspiration. Instead of long texts, there are lots of images, including photography, illustration, lettering, and exclusive previews of upcoming typefaces, forming a highly visual experience.

The inaugural issue is a special about the Lab. In this Research & Development department, we explore new ideas for future fonts. Type Life reveals how BRRR and KRSNA (two fonts from the Lab) came into being by depicting preliminary sketches, evolutionary steps, and photos of experiments made during trips. Reproductions of the very first applications show the fonts in context.

Each issue is devoted to one chosen theme, and is made in collaboration with guest artists, illustrators, and designers. In Type Life #1, guest contributor is Thomas Louzoun aka Zoum, a French art director, illustrator and tattoo artist. His whimsical drawings and handmade letterings were created specifically for Type Life.'
