TYPEONE #9

TYPEONE #9 – Food, Typography, and Packaging Design

TYPEONE Magazine returns with its ninth issue, serving up a bold and thoughtful exploration of the connections between food, typography, and packaging design. Curated by Norwegian studio Olsson Barbieri, Issue #9 unpacks the cultural, emotional, and ecological stories behind how we package what we eat—and how that design impacts our world.

Across 136 pages of essays, interviews, and visual showcases, this issue digs into topics like zero-waste branding, the semiotics of supermarket shelves, and typography’s quiet power in shaping our daily interactions with food. Contributors include food critic Alicia Kennedy and packaging innovator Mat Bogust, alongside a range of designers reimagining sustainability and storytelling through type.

From hands-on advice to critical reflection, TYPEONE invites us to rethink what we consume—visually and literally. Bonus: the cover’s tear-away strip mimics opening a food package, turning even the act of reading into part of the experience.
