I've always struggled with my typography, I have a tendency to be too plain and kinda old-fashioned... For Mean I was recently using the Avant Garde family with the additional ligature sets for most of the display text, but the last few issues I switched to Compacta and Helvetica Neue (the Krasinski cover is set in Helvetica Neue). The scripty type is Bellevue and Bickham. Thanks!

Especially love that John Krasinski one, if only I could meet him for real. Might I ask, what are some of the fonts you use? Awesome typography!

Mortensen was a generous and patient subject. He’s one of my favorite actors and, I agree, this is one of my favorite Mean covers. Thanks Paula!
