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 […]

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.

OurType: fine typography from Europe
OurType: fine typography from Europe

Founded in 2002, OurType.be is a collaborative font publishing website initiated by Fred Smeijers, a first generation digital type designer. The website, all in flash (argh…), can seem a bit strange to navigate at first, but is very nice. In fact you can easily try the font live and see it at different sizes. Every […]

On selling designers selling web products
On selling designers selling web products

Interesting thoughts at David Shea’s Mezzoblue on the interest for designers to sell web products. He describes 6 ways to make money selling products: t-shirts, buttons, icons, stock photography, typefaces and web templates. He doesn’t seem to believe in the viability of selling such products online, but seems to be quite happy with his experience […]

Middle-eastern typography
Middle-eastern typography

Amazing posters by Reza Abedini I had the chance to travel to some arabic countries where I discovered the beauty of calligraphy as building or object ornementation. However, I’ve been wondering how this free style could be transposed into movable types or glyphs. Well, after doing a little research I can say that I’ve not […]
