Steez Longboarding Magazine

Steez is a magazine about everything longboarding; the best skaters, trendy boards, taking care of your board, or just board life in general.

Full of summer vibes, Steez will make you long for the streets.

 

Idea and style

Longboarding is all about chilling, cruising and taking in the environment you’re in. It’s those long summer days when the temperature is just right and you could stay outside forever. Whether it’s the city or the countryside, it’s your moment.

I wanted to reflect this using a scrapbook, polaroid feel. Like something that was made on the road, in between longboard rides. A magazine full of those good vibes you want to share with all of your friends.

 
 

Typeface

I quickly realized there was no handwritten font that had that scrapbook, sharpie-marker look I was going for. So I decided to make my own. Using my calligraphy Winsor Markers I created the perfect messy font.

My font Winsor Marker is based on my own handwriting and I’ve let all the little messy errors remain to keep the feeling of somebody just jotting down the headlines in the magazine, maybe as notes to a friend.
