Remake of a Magazine Cover

For your viewing pleasure... a little fun with free fonts.

Back when I published my own small Desktop Publishing magazine, I did an issue about type. The layout of the cover was based on a portion of an old typesetters tray -- a tray with various sizes of compartments that held metal type. I've redone that cover, with several changes, using only free fonts.

Fonts used in the above graphic "magazine cover."
