On this blog I'd like to showcase things that haven't been seen too often, so as much as I'm tempted to run some pages from Twen, that particular magazine has featured prominently in design histories and websites of late. I've never seen this book reproduced anywhere before though. It's a World Cup 1974 review by Twen's wonderful art director Willy Fleckhaus, and I recognised his tell-tale style as soon as I flicked through the pages in the charity shop where I found it. All the Twen touches are present: dramatic juxtapositions of foreground and horizon line shots; an echo of that in the narrow and wide type column measures (six column rather than Twen's twelve); and of course that marvelously playful logo, which is shown here on the dustcover, and in its debossed form on the cloth-bound cover. A great find.
