Slanted is a German publishing house and magazine devoted to typography, graphic design, and contemporary aesthetics. Founded in Karlsruhe and now operating from a studio that has become one of the most respected independent design publishers in Europe, Slanted publishes a biannual print magazine alongside books, fonts, and a daily online editorial that covers the full spectrum of international design culture.
Each issue of the magazine takes a thematic or geographic focus — exploring the design scenes of cities like Cairo, Taipei, Lagos, or Athens with the depth and visual ambition of a monograph rather than a survey. The typography is, unsurprisingly, exceptional: every page functions as both content and demonstration, showing what the discipline can do when practiced with skill and conviction. The photography, interviews, and essays that accompany the visual work provide the cultural context that elevates the magazine from showcase to conversation.
Slanted has built an ecosystem that extends well beyond print: a type foundry, a blog updated daily, a series of city guides, and an international network of designers, educators, and studios who regard the publication as essential reading. For the global typography and design community, it is not just a magazine but a reference point — a place where the craft of letterforms meets the culture that gives them meaning.
