Miyagi is a redesign of “Yagi Link Double”, a letraset font. It’s a creative and beautiful work by designer Alex Haigh. I thought that Designer Daily’s readers would be interested in an interview with him. Don’t forget to visit the online foundry he’s launching: Hypefortype. There will probably be more great fonts coming from there, […]

Russian calligraphy is far from being as famous as chinese or arab calligraphy. From what you’ll see in the following examples, it’s a shame that it doesn’t get more exposure. All of the artworks here have been taken from Leonid Pronenko’s book on russian calligraphy, which is downloadable for free on his site. Somewhere in […]

We communicate everyday with the street publics: design and architecture objects around us, our neighbours,  signs on the tops of the buildings in downtown of the city, department stores, city facades, or small billboards on bus stations in the form of ads. I find that street design in the form of typography that we see […]

Gotham Ah, Gotham, the vernacular, everyman sans serif. It’s likely to be the Helvetica of 2007–08, or better yet, “The New Helvetica.” It’s forms are sturdy, and its character distinct (and I daresay “American,” much like how Gill Sans is “English” or a Fraktur is “German.”) These alternatives, though, are available when you want something […]

Hello, my name is Bram, a brand strategist, hacker and typophile. I’ll be guest blogging for Designer Daily during Mirko’s vacation week. Consider this fact: today, we have more typefaces than ever designed, yet most designers chose to stick with their Helveticas, Gills and Caslons. This isn’t bad, per se; after all, going with the […]

The web is full of resources, but they’re often hard to reach. This is the reason why I think it’s important to organize them with a coherent structure and share it with you. So just bookmark this page for whenever you’ll need it, it’ll be useful. Please also mention if I missed anything. Organizing Sample […]

I only came across the TypeCulture website today, it’s a real shame I didn’t get to discover it earlier. This site is pretty much the best one I’ve seen on the topic of typography (apart from I Love Typography of course). You’ll find in-depth articles there, as well as loads of typography resources or great […]

When talking about street typography, people will immediatly think of graffiti. This is of course part of the typographic elements you’ll see in the streets, but it’s far from being all of it. Street typography consists of every typographic element that you can possibly find in cities outdoors, such as billboards, graffitis, road signs, shop […]

There isn’t many blogs solely dedicated to typography, but many blogging graphic designers out there love typography and they usually tend to be either grid maniacs or letterpress lovers, or even both in many cases. The video above isn’t about one of these two topics, but it’s still very interesting because it is very down […]

I’ve been having a lot of fun this morning with the Type is Art website. This experiment let’s you appreciate the beauty of type by focusing on parts of a character. It is also a good way for beginners to learn important typography terms, since the site explains them in a very simple way. I […]

Logo lovers will be glad to discover David Airey’s new site: iconic logo designers. The popular logo designer introduces there some of the world’s most iconic logo designers. Many of my favourite designers are represented there, such as Otl Aicher, Armin Hofman, Saul Bass or Alan Fletcher. I also got to discover some designers I […]

Ever wondered if famous typographers have a good handwriting? I did, probably because I have a shitty handwriting myself and hope that I’ll be able to create a good font someday (working on it). The Man in Blue did more than just wondering about that, he actually asked some prominent typographers to send him a […]
