Old school
Found this old picture from back in the good old days at the Oslo National College of the Arts. This is the very nice and cozy “kitchen” in the hallway outside the classrooms in the visual communication department. Nicely decorated with lovely large letters.

Hello typewriter™
This is a huge typewriter, and if anyone gets me one of these for my Bday, I´ll be a happy camper forever and ever ever for ever ever forever ever etc. And a half naked woman (preferably Sonya Henie) should always type my letters for me. I should smoke Marlboro Light and wear a hat. A big hat. I would send letters to every prime minister, in every country, asking for more ink and paper for my huge typewriter.
On second thoughts, I´m happy with just the typewriter, and actually, I don´t smoke, or like ice skating. A typewriter and a hat and I´m in!

from the archive
After yesterdays talk, I found my self bold enough to post an old type sketch of mine. This was made for a project we had couple of years ago. Think it was early 2007. The sketch was suppose to be, if it worked out (witch it did not), the heading for the famous UREDD calendar. Anyhow, here is my sketch:
Stuff I used: clay, pencil & photoshop.

Hebrew is a nice brew!
Hagilda make traditional hebrew type the funky super nice way. Gotta love that fancy jabberwocky look of type you just don’t understand at all. Content doesn’t get in your way. direct link to the sample PDF.

Disorder Type
Reykjavik based graphic designer and illustrator Siggeir Hafsteinsson with a nice font!
Dissociative identity disorder is a typeface with two distinct personalities.
Following in the tradition of Tyler Durden and “Jack” (Ed Norton’s character) in Fight Club,
the typeface is at once an aggressive risk taker, and a solid, trustworthy friend.
