Yuca isn’t an easy read. That’s a compliment: it’s not trying to be. Referring to themselves as “partners in crime”, Colombia-based editors Juliana Gómez and Lina Rincón have transformed magazine-making into something deliciously illicit: a covert creative act you need to find some kind of excuse for, because it operates outside the bounds of polite, productive society.

Yuca’s theming is somewhat idiosyncratic: they choose an ‘alibi’ (which in latin means ‘elsewhere’ but has come to mean an ‘excuse’) – in this case sound – and juxtapose it with a theme – in this case time – to see what the result of that collision of ideas creates.

THE GOOD TRADE

Searching for your next summer read or magazine to take in-flight? Skip the tabloids and pick up a digital or print copy of one of the following travel publications. Each magazine is carefully crafted by dedicated storytellers and creators who all have one thing in common: a longing to better understand the world and its people. Challenging and important topics are not avoided; rather, readers are invited to explore culture, place, and identity while allowing themselves to see the world through the eyes of others. With captivating photography, honest words, and inspiring art, here are 10 of the most impactful digital and print travel magazines inspiring cultural appreciation.

FONTS IN USE

The editorial staff of YUCA might be Spanish speaking, but the magazine has a clear typographic gusto americano. Morris Fuller Benton’s Century Oldstyle proves its worth as a contemporary workhorse, despite its age that surpassed a full century already a decade ago. Layouts are set in justified columns. For the recurring section Behind the Zines, we have a rare sighting of Century Schoolbook Monospace (!), hitting that sweet spot between typewriter and mid-century.

BARON MAGAZINE

Yuca is a biannual magazine expressing a variety of points of view through literature, photography, and art. But other than that, it’s what allows us to dream, it’s what gives us an excuse to approach people we admire bringing their work together in one place.
