| Product | Magazine “Linotype Matrix” (English) |  | | Description |
New Linotype Matrix is now available!
Linotype Matrix is a typographical journal, published from time to time by Linotype. The Linotype Matrix was a quarterly newssheet produced by Linotype and Machinery Ltc.

As such, it was a platform were new types were portrayed, and the journal often followed up with success stories of Linotype originals.
Almost 50 years after the last issue, volume 4 of the Linotype Matrix returns, this time in magazine format. Rich in content and graphics, the new look takes into consideration the reading habits and design trends of today. But the purpose is still the same: to showcase the hidden gems of the Linotype Library, and to provide a platform for design discourse and typographic expression. 4 color print.

| Product | |  | | Description | A cooperative project between Linotype GmbH and the University of Applied Sciences, Wiesbaden. For two semesters under the leadership of Prof. Guido Ludes and Stefanie Weber, Certified Designer, students at the University of Applied Sciences, Wiesbaden experimented with selected typefaces from Linotype.
