Works That Work – No. 2

No. 2 is available now on loremnotipsum.com. In this issue we look at inventions as deceptively simple as the shipping container and as staggeringly complex as an intercontinental aircraft.

The magazine by Peter Biľak of Typotheque type foundry, ‘a magazine of unexpected creativity’. It is a magazine for the curious mind, endeavouring to surprise its readers with a rich mix of diverse subjects connected by the theme of human creativity, searching for a deeper understanding of work and its motives.
