A 1840 painting by John Parry that attracted my attention, thanks to John Coulthart. This artwork is a delight for the typography lover in me, so much attention is given in the posters’ lettering. Via Coudal.

The national road sign system of Korea was redesigned by Dumbar, a Dutch studio with an office in Seoul. For that project, the typographer Pieter van Rosmalen created a typeface for the English translations. The font needed to be narrow to accomodate the long text, wide spacing was used to increase the readability.

I personnaly love the font, but I’m not so sure about the pictograms, and really don’t like the arrows. I don’t get some of the color conventions as well, why is the ski pictogram in a black box suddenly?

Via Dezeen.

The art of combining text with animation has really taken off in recent years. Whether it’s corporate advertising or a fan-made video; graphic designers with After Effects skills have endless possibilities of making type move in magnificent ways. What really makes kinetic typography work, though, is how the designers capture the feel of their subject by adding those subtle tweaks. check out these 50 examples and gather some food for thought…
