Trilogy

DSCF1324

I'm a bit of a fan. Ever since Jeremy Tankard released Bliss all those years ago and I rang him up and ordered it directly, over the phone, man to man, I've felt a kind of bond. A kind of out-of-kilter, stalking kind of bold perhaps, but a bond nevertheless. It's not that I've used his fonts much really. Would love to. Enigma is superb, Kingfisher beautiful, The Shire Types voluptuous. Aspect, well I tried Aspect recently and while I was extremely pleased with what I thought was an elegantly simple bit of work, our client plumped for something scriptier.

So the prospect of a Tankard Fat Face alone would fill me with excitement, but not satisfied with something so simple, instead Mr T gives us The Trilogy Collection: a massive set of Sans's, a tidy bundle of Egyptians and a complimentary side order of Fat Boys. All harmonised to work side by side, in multi-fontial bliss (pardon the pun).

It's that time again when lovely stuff appears that you should be buying for someone special in your life but the temptation to keep it for yourself is almost over powering. First up: Typotheque's Limited Edition 2010 Diary.

Big "&" Theory

Dafi_kuhne

Dafi Kühne is a designer and printer with a recent bachelor’s degree from the Zurich University of Arts‘ Visual Communications department. He also worked as an intern at the legendary Hatch Show Print poster shop in 2008. 

Woodtype Now! is Kühne’s bachelor thesis project that explores experimental production methods for letterpress printing. It is one of the more interesting efforts from a handful of contemporary wood type projects I’ve come across recently, and stands out in its decidedly theoretical approach to the idea of wood type in a modern context…

I'm away again (again...third holiday...second still to be reported on). But while I'm away, I thought you might like to meet, if you haven't already, Foco, from DaMa.
