Accompanying a major exhibition at Tate Modern, this dazzling catalogue reveals an unknown side of global pop.
The World Goes Pop explores the engagements with pop throughout the globe, concentrating not only on the relatively well-covered activity in the US, UK and France but also on developments throughout Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
This unique book offers an opportunity to examine the origins and socio-political side of Pop, including pop and the political representation; pop and the new sexual politics; seriality, distribution and the role of print production.
Featuring the work of over 65 artists, six newly commissioned essays and brand new artist interviews, The World Goes Pop is the first book to rely on primary sources to re-evaluate Pop art throughout the globe. — Tate

Alias Aspic is used for headline type throughout.

Now celebrating its tenth anniversary, AnOther Magazine is known for the unusual type that accompanies its atypical design. Co-founder and former creative director Alex Wiederin (Buero New York) created many of these typefaces, subtle departures from classics like Futura, Bodoni, and Optima, yet drawn entirely from scratch. You can see Wiederin present a few of them himself in this video tour of his 2009 show in Berlin.

The semiannual magazine is now under the design direction of Gareth Hague and David James, jumping over from sister publication AnOther Man. Hague and James have a long record of highly original type design, collected since 1996 under their Alias label. Some of my personal favorites are the dotted Intimo, the low-fi angles of Klute (used as a reference for the infamous London 2012 identity), the soft Sylvia, the tack-sharp Union, the ball terminaled Perla, and Granite, a unique hybrid of slab and Didone.

Add to that a variety of uppercase widths and unicase options and Ano is the consummate titling toolkit, offering stacked and textural headline possibilities, bending to the art director’s word image wishes.

Ano Serif followed. I don’t think it’s as successful, but it certainly lends itself well to the avant garde demeanor of the magazine. Its use as a text face is questionable.

AnOther Magazine Issue 18 featuring Aspect for headlines and Ano for text.

Update: Gareth Hague sent a couple more examples of the fonts in use. The first shows Ano Serif looking quite different in upper- and lowercase. The second is one of Hague’s favorite layouts using Aspect. It suggests one of the typeface’s reference points: Berthold Wolpe’s book cover typography from the ’50s.
