Briefly not­ed: Avant Garde mag­a­zine had a rel­a­tive­ly short run. A col­lab­o­ra­tion between Ralph Ginzburg (edi­tor) and Herb Lubalin (art direc­tor), Avant Garde is part­ly remem­bered for its rad­i­cal pol­i­tics and embrace of erot­ic con­tent. But prob­a­bly the great­est lega­cy of the mag­a­zine is the logo Lubalin designed, which gave birth to the Avant Garde type­face that still lives today. You can read Avant Garde in all of its dig­i­tal glo­ry here. If you would like to sign up for Open Culture’s free email newslet­ter, please find it here.
