Missy Magazine website
Missy Magazine lives at the intersection of pop culture, politics, and feminism. Founded in 2008 by Stefanie Lohaus, Chris Köver, Sonja Eismann, and Margarita Tsomou, it has since become a leading voice in independent feminist journalism, publishing six issues a year.
The topics are as diverse as the readership: from trans families, sex work, and the rise of the far right to coding, fat acceptance, and care work. Missy Magazine covers rap, cats, menstruation in horror films, asylum and everyday life, body hair, and the latest TV highlights. The magazine interviews and profiles artists and activists, explore feminist fashion, queer pornography, and spotlight organizations fighting for safe abortion access worldwide.
The magazine’s website is designed by Daniela Burger and Lisa Klinkenberg. Most text is shown in Missy Marguerite, a custom version of Charlotte Rohde’s Marguerite Grotesk. It’s distinguished from the retail version by f r t with horizontally cut terminals and round dots. The logo is based on Impact Nieuw 2016, the wide style from Jungmyung Lee’s series of reinterpretations of Impact. The typographic palette is completed by Daria Cohen’s Zangezi.
