What Type Are You?

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

I found a link to Pentagram’s type quiz on Design Sponge this morning (while reading her post about Parliament, who we blogged about a few weeks back). The quiz determined that I am Archer Hairline, a charming slab-serif typeface designed by Hoefler & Frere-Jones and Tyler is Architype Van Doesburg, the geometric sans-serif typeface originally designed by Theo Van Doesburg, co-founder of the DeStijl art movement. In my opinion the results were bang on. If you’re looking for something to do, head over and see what type you are. (password: character)

Lunchtime web-surfing can often produce great results. Here are a couple posters I really like from London-based Tom Balchin.

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Well, what can we say? The holiday break threw a wrench in our plans, so we missed a few Typo Thursdays. We really, really missed them.

Typexcitement

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

I’ve been really excited about type this year. As my fiance and I move closer towards designing our wedding stationery, I’ve got my peepers open for any and all inspiring type. I’m happy to report that Jessica Hische has posted the initial for our soon-to-be-shared new last name, the letter T! If you haven’t visited Daily Drop Cap, where “each day (or at least each WORK day), a new hand-crafted decorative initial cap will be posted for your enjoyment and for the beautification of blog posts everywhere”, then you should do so immediately. While you’re at it, check out Woodtyper for more type-goodness.

We’re switching things up a bit for this edition of Typographic Tuesdays. This quote is from one of our clients, and we tend to agree with him.
