Qwerty 4: Recession
Produced after the recession of the early 1990s, this issue of Qwerty was an observation of the typographic fall-out from such economic hardship. This included a survey of business signage being wrenched off buildings and other skeletal remains of spent commerce. The text is set in a customised typeface (Bankrupt) based on the glue outlines that are left after a sign is removed. This issue features a tipped-in four colour letterpress section printed in Sydney.
