Fact was a magazine that had spiced up issues instead of sugar-coated pieces. Lasted from 1964 till 1967.

Lubalin applied an elagant design to the magazine with minimalist palette, based on dynamic serified typography and exquisite illustrations.

Despite the great reviews Fact had, it followed the lead of its predecessor and folded.

This was due to a publication of an article on the Republican presedential candidate Barry Goldwater.

Goldwater sued the magazine and put it out of business.

Avant Garde was the third try- was created and became a huge hit.

In 1970, with the help of Aaron Burns and Edward Ronthaler, Lubalin created the International Typeface Corporation (ITC).

This was the worlds first type foundries that had no history in hot metal type design.

This was an age of photosetting. Replacing hot type with coldtype meant that a new library of modern fonts could be developed.

Type forms could be manipulated in ways that were extremely difficult with metal casting.
