Typebar Magazine is an irreverent online magazine publishing literary analysis, cultural criticism, and stories about typewriters. It’s the kind of place where you can expect to see an article about the true meaning of Judge Holden in Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian sandwiched between an essay about Doug Walker’s Kickassia and a discussion of the IBM Selectric typewriter.
We want to make reading on the Internet fun again. On the early Internet, witty blogs and interesting essays were waiting around every corner. Remember The Awl? The Toast? The Outline? Today’s internet is full of SEO spam, AI-generated garbage, deranged political agitprop, and outrage bait. Our editorial mission is to give people smart, thought-provoking, and fresh stories to read online.
