+81 Plus Eighty One Vol.97

Plus Eighty One is a global creative culture and inspiration magazine launched in Tokyo in 1997. Named after Japan's international telephone country code (+81), it explores international creative scenes with a focus on graphic design, typography, photography, film, fashion, and music. 

In this issue: Beyond The Letter

"Beyond The Letter" explores typographic expression that transcends the role of letters as mere tools for conveying information. Structured through 4 chapters, this issue moves between “reading” and “feeling,” reconsidering how typography can resonate with the viewer’s emotions and consciousness.
