Volume XII. Spring.Letter from the editor

A magazine for the curious reader.

We started this title for the kind of reader who finishes the long piece, who clips the back-page essay, who keeps the issue in a stack by the bed for a year. Here is what we have learned about making a magazine that earns that kind of attention.

By the editor

Reader.

Set in Fjalla One, with body in Noto Sans.

We commission writers who care about sentences, photographers who care about light, and editors who care about the difference between a story and a piece. Our subscribers are designers, founders, curators, gardeners, parents, students, and people who simply like to read.

“A good magazine is not a feed. It is a place you go on purpose.”

On printing the right number

We print exactly the number of copies we expect to sell. There is no warehouse, no remainder shelf, no grey-market reseller. The economics are tighter, but every reader is one we wanted.
