Plain Text is a publication for contemporary type design, created by type foundry Plain Form. Each issue features diverse content — essays, interviews, portfolios, re-publications, fiction as well as visual works — to satiate both type design experts, with contributions from or about recognized practitioners just as well as recent students, and the generally curious, with insights valuable to anyone interested in language and communication. One year after publication, if an issue is out of print, it is made available online free of charge under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
