” I love love love typography. That is why I am designing and sticking it on the walls. Power of words, funny statements, slogans, letters, curves, and material joined in wall decorations. Call it elegant graffiti, sticky typography or something else – I’m just having fun writing in plastic.”

I don’t know but I think Yale maybe the only university with its own typeface. NSCAD University needs to get on this and develop their own.
I think the font is classic and does suit the institution. Aside from that it does great me mad excited (and yes some type does get me mad excited).
Typeface Tuesday 15: The Periodic Table of Typefaces
November 10th, 2009 § Leave a Comment
Ok this is the geekest and coolest thing I have seen in a bit and I may order the wall decal of it for my studio. Sorry I will start from the beginning …
This rather talented designer dude, Cam Wilde, had an idea to make a periodic table of a hundred typefaces that we all use a on regular so that he had a fun and cool looking refence to look at while working. He posted in on Behance Network back in March (I think). Since then it kinda blew up on him and has been posted on a number of blogs. What makes me want to post about it now is that he has it avail in a number of different mediums; wall decal, beautiful prints in silver ink on blk & wht 80lb stock, wallpapers, and you can even make a donation and he email you a file for you to use for your own means. Someone got it etched onto the back of his Macbook Pro (he’s the coolest geek of all). Check it out and hit the source link to site of his company Squidspot to order or dnld your own.
Please got to Squidspot and support the coolness

Typeface Tuesday 12: Kidimo
October 21st, 2009 § Leave a Comment
Like a lot of art nerds and design geeks I know I have this magnetism to old sign letters. I have always wanted to spend a summer yard sale shopping and small town antiquing for letters. Doesn’t that sound romantic? Road trips all summer with a car full of letters. Dreamy. Well in my search for the elusive letter Q I came across the site for this store KIDIMO. Kidimo sells old signage. “Seriously are you kidding me?” No I am not. They are located in Paris and have an absolutely amazing selection of letters and words from old signage. The Who, What, Where — all came rushing to my head when I first saw this and freaked right out. Yes actually out loud and not jus’ typing lol crap. Peep the sample pics and please go to there site and feel the awe of a job well done.
P.S. I just saw that this post I wrote yesterday sitting there not published, so Typeface Wednesday?

Hey I know its been a minute, it’s hard to post when your comp is in the mac store getting a new hard drive. Ok some time ago I posted a cover to an Annual Report I did for the Dalhousie Student Union, well the document as a whole is done now. And I draw a typeface for the section headers I call ‘straight block cut‘. Here is the cover and a few spreads.
