The NYTimes Gets Typographic

In wrapping up the year, the NYTimes Magazine 12/28/08 issue chose to honor certain individuals who had passed away during the past year and "The Lives They Lived." Illustration by Nancy Harris Rouemy, a designer for the magazine, and typeface design by Pattrick Griff/Canada Type was carried from the cover to the table of contents and through to individual biographies of each of the deceased. The style of the type evokes the delicacy of life and is reminiscent of things past.
