Cult Classic magazine is a Portland-based collective commissioning and publishing creative works across the country. The magazine serves as a platform to preserve, promote and support independent and underground creatives.

The vibrant layouts and innovative use of type is the work of Portland, OR based FISK. Throughout the spreads you’ll find Civilitate, Gooper, Lifted, and Nostra (all on Future Fonts), as well as GT America and GT America Mono from Grilli Type. Issue 03 is dedicated to the nocturnal:

The enigmatic period between dusk and dawn creates a moment of metamorphosis: swapping business casual for the fantastical, escaping the confines of a cubicle for the sanctuary of the discotheque, performing that nightly ritual to start the cycle all over again. This issue of Cult Classic illuminates those who come alive in the night; the hidden, the inexplicable and those who are tirelessly honing their craft while everyone else has called it a day.
