About the Vogue brand

Vogue is a lifestyle and fashion magazine based in New York. Originally established in 1892 by Arthur Baldwin Turnure, Vogue was originally meant to supplement the lifestyle of New York’s social elite by way of high society news and opinions. This all changed in 1909 when Condé Montrose Nast, founder of Condé Nast Publications, transformed the magazine into a magazine that focused on fashion, social etiquette, and other beauty trends. Today, Vogue stands as one of the fashion industry’s most prominent fashion magazines, influencing fashion trends and even being heralded by The New York Times as the “high fashion bible”.

Vogue Logo Lettering

Vogue’s logo uses a serif typeface by the name of “Didot”. Didot uses a combination of thin and thick lines to bring attention to the shape of the letters used, emphasizing the important strokes of each letter. Vogue makes use of an all uppercase typeface to stay eye-catching and easier to read even with Didot’s sleek design. Vogue’s font choice emphasizes sharp edges, even using thin lines for curves for an even sharper image. Although often seen as black or white, Didot’s presence is strong enough to be recognizable in a variety of colors, as often seen on magazine covers where the font color may change depending on the magazine cover.
