Magazine Slanted
Slanted Publishers publishes the biannual print magazine Slanted. The magazine was founded in 2005. It focuses on international design and cultural creation. Each issue is dedicated to a specific typographical or country-specific topic with an appropriately designed layout. The editorial office is located in Karlsruhe. As of May 2020, 35 issues of the magazine were published (excluding special editions), each of which is dedicated to a specific typographic or location-related topic. Between 2013 and 2020 four special issues have been published.

The magazine has won awards in national and international design competitions. Among others it received the Designpreis der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany) (Silver, 2009) and the German Design Award 2018.

Website Slanted.de
The publishing house operates the website Slanted.de. Since 2004, daily news and events from the fields of design, typography, illustration, and photography of the international design scene have been published here. Portfolios from all over the world are presented.

The website has more than 180 video interviews with design personalities as contemporary witnesses as of 2020, including Milton Glaser, Steven Heller, Louise Fili, Lance Wyman, Michael Bierut, Niklaus Troxler, and Wolfgang Weingart.
