This unostentatious magazine boasts thoughts, analyses, experience and historical detail on the subjects of typography and book design, as well as on illustration and art. The main emphasis however is put on typography. New and old books are analysed and discussed from a graphic point of view, while theoretical positions are taken up and debated in essays and interviews. Backcover is a valuable newcomer for the somewhat under-supplied niche of serious magazines on typography.
