This issue: Tearful

Set in metal and wood type and printed letterpress, the name Forme refers to the lock-up arrangement of type inside a chase when letterpress printing. The beautiful Awagami paper has a texture to mimic the feel of a tissue, referring to the theme ‘Tearful’, the pages fold out to create a poster featuring a text by Dutch emeritus professor of Emotions Ad Vingerhoets, and a list of tearjerker movies.
