Sleek magazine issue 65 is putting the concept of glamour under the microscope. Over the last few years, behaviours have changed and a new generation has transformed its attitude to glamour: now, people see it as an attribute, a platform or just something to enjoy. To gain a greater understanding about this shift in perception Sleek selected a group of artists, photographers and writers to pick apart the theme of glamour.

With a savage display use of the Grand Slang family from Nikolas Type, mixed up with Alex Slobzheninov’s Relaate and accompanied by Nimbus Sans for text, went with “a high power type-pairing-strategy” showcasing Sleek’s own facettes of glamour and breaking the binary.

The team at True Tea—a women-owned, women-run tea company founded by Katherine Harris and Katy Connors in Portland, Oregon—worked with design studio FISK to develop their brand identity and packaging.

One poster in a series of posters by Tina Touli for HP. Whereas most other posters use lettering, this one uses a repetition of “Create Anything” set in Relaate Serif in the background.

From Tina Touli Design:

An abstract composition of shapes has been created in order to represent the concept of ANYTHING. The look and feel of the composition reminds of space and planets, pushing the idea of ANYTHING even further.
