With each issue based around a single object, MacGuffin magazine is a platform for fans of inspiring, personal, unexpected, highly familiar or utterly disregarded things. Widely recognized as a fabulously designed and immaculately researched design & crafts biannual, it is an indispensable resource for all those who want backstage information about the life of things.

MacGuffin Issue 13: The Letter is dedicated to language’s basic material: the letter, a seemingly modest sign that can be a force of protest and connection. The Letter dives deep into the infinite world of written symbols, taking in Arabic protest and autocorrection, branded bodies and black typography, found fonts and feminist printshops, graffiti and grimoires, internet memes and interrobangs, language labyrinths and left-handedness, Palestinian resistance and queer typography, slogan T-shirts and secret messages.
