Bon Appétit executive editor, Christine Muhlke, got a look at the latest issue of Jamie, which is Jamie Oliver’s British vanity project cooking and lifestyle magazine. And she thinks that typography on the cover looks awfully familiar. In fact, it looks a whole lot like Lucky Peach’s established style. Granted, magazines steal one another’s design cues all the time, so what do you think? Respectful homage? Purposeful rip-off? Or maybe the designer was just subconsciously channeling LP’s aesthetic since its two covers have been all over the Internet for the last six months? [Christine Muhlke/Twitter]
