TYPEFACE film poster

I’m absolutely and totally in love with this Letterpress Film poster by Daren Newman for the (Manchester UK) screening of the film “TYPEFACE.” Hand-drawn, etched into wood, individually inked, and printed on an Albion Press (at Hot Bed Press). Organized by Shillington College, INC, and Funnel Creative. LOVELY! Check out more fantastic photos of the [...]

If You Have

A young friend posted this image to her facebook page yesterday and the social-advocate in me just had to share. It’s definitely not the best typography I have ever seen, but it is a sobering reminder of all the things we take for granted each and every day. That’s worth sharing hands down.

Type & Fright Halloween Costume Party

I had a wonderful evening hosting the first annual Type & Fright Halloween & Costume Party at my house. We dressed up as typefaces and enjoyed ghoulish games, tasty treats, and magical music. Check out the pictures below to see some of the evening’s fun and creative costumes.

Only by manually weaving together thousands upon thousands of carefully placed words [...]

Manitou Springs

We were visiting the area for a wedding, but managed to check out the lovely downtown area for a few hours of fun and relaxation beforehand. The downtown area was not only beautiful – but also had some [...]

“Typographeee.com is the online incarnation of a book which was designed as a typographic primer for fledgling design students as well as a reference tool for all designers with a passion for typography. The book is also a documentation of the typographic research expedition of three colleagues who were themselves students of design. Separated into [...]

Bilingual Branding & Design

An interesting aspect of my trip to Doha (Qatar) was the beautiful typography found throughout the country. Little did I know that the integration of Latin typography with Arabic typography would be so crucial (and prevalent) in a culture that is essentially bilingual to begin with. Not only did this make me feel embarrassed for [...]

Alëna Skarina

This weekend a friend visiting from DC loaned me the book “The New York Regional Mormon Singles Halloween Dance” and I immediately fell in love with the book jacket design. The hand-drawn typography interlaced with red boot strings was an immediate draw, but the quirky and charming expression of the hands had me hooked. I [...]
