In 2002, my freelance studio, Simpletype, created and sold experimental typefaces. To promote and test them, I launched PT, a mini magazine named after the numeric measurement used for typesetting. In PT, I featured my fonts, using self-initiated art and design. Issue No. 3 showcased "Table," a bitmap font based on a simple square grid. I created all the art, presenting it as an abstract, tongue-in-cheek piece. The 8x8" magazine was digitally printed and saddle-stitched. I mailed it to creative studios worldwide, hoping they would buy the font or hire me. Some surprisingly did.

Open book with yellow and brown abstract graphics on the left page. The right page features handwritten text, a sketch of a cigarette vending machine with green details, and large blue numbers "500" over a white and yellow background.
