8 Faces is an 88 page bi-annual, independently published, magazine centred around interviews with eight leading designers from the fields of print, web, illustration and type design. Each interview is loosely based around the question “if you could use just eight typefaces, which would you choose?” The original 8 Faces home page designed by Kyle Meyer 8 Faces was launched in 2010 by Elliot Jay Stocks ? -? a UK based web designer and self-confessed type nerd. Since then it has grown steadily and has become a business in itself with an expanding list of contributors and a very active Tumblr community. Issue one sold out in under one hour and subsequent releases have fared just as well. The range of 8 Faces products has also grown and now includes a limited edition range of type posters and a soon to be launched “read online” feature. Enter Paravel In mid 2012 Elliot commissioned Paravel , Inc to redesign the 8 Faces online experience.
