New type for Rolling Stone
Commercial Type designed a custom type palette for Rolling Stone's 2024 redesign, led by Richard Turley and Mark Leeds working with Creative Director Joe Hutchinson. The centrepiece is Rolling Stone Slab, drawn by Tim Ripper, a condensed Egyptian building on his Successor revival and referencing Dennis Ortiz-Lopez's custom slabs from the Woodward–Anderson era of the 1990s. Swash capitals for the Deck Regular were added by Julien Priez and applied to the upright as well as the italic, with the upright version preferred for its surreal quality. The redesign also shifted to heavyweight newsprint and increased body copy point size to restore editorial density.
