Sociotype Journal is a new platform for thoughts on culture and society, that also happens to be a type specimen. Issue #1 is typeset in our very own serif superfamily, Gestura. Appropriately enough, our theme is “The Gesture”.

When words fail, our hands do the talking. Join us as we investigate raised fists, flicked Vs and power grips, VR mitts and cable knits with NASA, secret signs of the illuminati, street gangs and flight attendants, sign language poetry, greasy fingers, strap hangers, and discover the meaning of the word “thist”.

Issue #1 features ten essays, seven image-led articles, and a twenty eight page technical type specimen. Winner of The Type Director's Club's TDC68 “Certificate of Typographic Excellence” in the category of Editorial in 2022.
