>Someone earlier suggested going with a typewriter-inspired monospace font. Double columns. I'd like there to maybe be simple illustrations or photographs to accompany pieces (I draw, and another anon offered help with illustrations).

I'm the anon who suggested this in a previous thread:
>I was thinking black-and-white, with the selected pieces reformatted in a sort of retro monospace typesetting, like something printed from an old typewriter. We could try to include hand-drawn illustrations and sketches, or even hand-written letters from the editors and contributors, if people were interested in doing that. Maybe some black-and white photos as well. I draw a little, so I’d definitely contribute to illustrating some stuff.

Maybe the idea is lame, but since so much content in the zine is focused on the internet and the current cultural zeitgeist, it seems to me like it could create a compelling contrast if we were to curate a best-of issue in a format that’s sort of antithetical to that.

I've since repented of the monospace font idea, since the kerning makes it hard to read. But here's a little mock-up I did in Canva, just to give you a sense of what I mean.
