Issue #3: Home

Sociotype Journal is a magazine and type specimen that showcases typefaces by Sociotype, a type foundry from the London-based creative studio Socio.

The theme for issue #3 is Home. What makes a home? And how does power (or the lack of it) change the concept and the reality of what ‘home’ means? This issue offers a top-down and bottom-up tour of domesticity, from geometrically pristine master-planned utopias to an altogether more DIY approach: unplanned and off-grid, into the margins, into ruin, and into hiding in plain sight. It looks at Potemkin villages and replica cities, McMansions and sham castles, cube farms and hot desks, spite fences, coffin homes, hippie communes, suburban malls, Cold War-era radar stations, and more.
