Street Typography

Typographers handwritings
Typographers handwritings

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 […]

Typography for the web
Typography for the web

After my graphic design school I quickly started to gain interest in webdesign, I also quickly started to get frustrated by the limitations of web typography. The first thing I did was head to flash to be able to use any font I wanted, until I did understand why it wasn’t a good idea to […]

The amazing ABC3D book
The amazing ABC3D book

Discover the alphabet letter by letter with this amazing typography pop-up book. With a very creative use of forms and space, it shows the correlation between some letters with some cool transitions. I love the part with C turning into a D or the O – P going Q – R. Impressive work.
