"Inuktitut (ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ) is a Canadian Inuit magazine produced by the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and Beat Studios. The magazine, now available quarterly (twice per year), is published in Inuktitut (syllabics), Inuinnaqtun, English, and French.
The stated goal of the magazine is to present "...the heritage of Inuit culture, language and society in a modern format". The magazine publishes first person stories, essays, fiction, features, editorials, traditional legends, and oral Inuit history. They also reproduce material and pictures found in archives and personal collections worldwide.
Inuktitut was first published in 1959 and is funded by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada. Originally published three times a year in black and white, the magazine was relaunched in 2005 as a quarterly in full colour and accepts advertising.[1] The claimed circulation is 13,000[2] as of 2008, and it is available by mail throughout Nunavut, Nunavik, Nunatsiavut, and the Inuvialuit region of the Northwest Territories. Although the magazine is available free in the above areas, it is also possible to obtain an annual subscription for C$25."

Note: Inuktitut Magazine features the syllabic typeface ‘Emilia’ by trailblazing Japanese Canadian designer Eiko Emori. The typeface, originally designed in the late 1970's after meeting with First Nations and linguists across Canada, was the very first modern syllabic ever to be designed by a trained typographer. Eiko Emori has never been recognized for her hard work and dedication towards the revitalization of indigenous language, writing, and culture. Nor has she been recognized as one of Canada's foremost masters in design and typography. While there are many white men who have received recognition for their contributions to Canadian design, Eiko has received little to none.
