A Magazine Curated By #28, Cecilie Bahnsen
Cover of the 29th issue
Issue N°29 of A Magazine Curated By has been curated by Cecilie Bahnsen.
At its heart, this publication is a celebration of women: their voices, perspectives, and relationships. Throughout the issue, what emerges is a language of shared experience through moments between parents, children, sisters, lovers and friends. A Magazine Curated By N°29 unfolds as a meditation on the beauty of the everyday, the unseen threads between generations and the formative experiences of youth and childhood that continue to shape creativity today.
“It’s filled with the voices of sisters, mothers, collaborators and creatives—a tribute to the strong, inspiring women I’m lucky to have around me.”
OO Theran designed by Laura Csocsán (released on Outline Online) features as one of the main typefaces in use throughout the magazine, selected by the editorial team. It is used equally for bigger titles, credits, as well as longer texts and interviews. On some pages and for a few interviews, it’s also combined with the two other typefaces the magazine utilises in this particular issue.
For consistent page numbering, smaller credits and titles, as well as most longer texts and interviews, Mercure roman and italic by Charles Mazé are applied throughout the pages. Released on Abyme, Mercure fits smoothly together with the contemporary grotesque typeface, Monument, designed by Kasper-Florio and released on Dinamo. Monument Grotesk is used in combination with Mercure most of the time, within running text for interviews, for example, or used on its own for a few titles of editorial pages. It can be spotted in very small details throughout as well, for example, in image copyrights or in combination with Mercure for smaller image credits. In some occasions all three typefaces are used in combination with each other within interviews, but in most cases, it’s two of them selected and applied together within a spread.
