Duh, wish I saw this before Christmas! Great work by Chris Clarke.

Typecube is a design tool used to facilitate the modular construction of letterforms. Typecube’s six faces each bear a unique formal component which provide the basis of two dimensional and three dimensional typographic systems, encouraging flexibility within uniform structure. By varying the number of type cubes, typographic solutions vary in complexity, and are capable of infinite rearrangement.

Check out the amazing paper typography work of Yulia Brodskaya!

The typo blog TypeNue writes about the typography used in the “Generator book” that UREDD designed earlier this year. Applause!

This must be a card trump classic. each card has font styles with data like designer, date, price etc. Why haven’t I seen such cards before. Why didn’t i grow up with such cards. What a better place the world would be if everyone grew up with these. Give one to your loved ones for christmas! You can find them here at Magma Books.

I recently discovered the Lovely Package blog, a place to discover lots of great packaging design. I’ve never been very passionate about package design, but when so much great work is showcased it’s hard not to become inspired. What’s great about this particular blog is that they’ve lately started to include the fonts used in the design (so you won’t have to research it yourself) which I find is a really nice way to get inspired to try out new fonts or maybe some old ones that you didn’t think had it in them.

Come to think of it; a blog showcasing designs and including the fonts used is something I haven’t seen too often, but it’s definitely something I’d like to see more of. Feel free to share similar sites!

A few examples:

Fonts used: Bloc, ITC Einhorn, Sinaloa, ITC Avant Garde Gothic, Dynamo.

Font used: Brothers, ITC Weidemann

Lovely Package says: Basic Commercial or Akzidenz-Grotesk. But which one is it?

It’s a technological breakthrough!

The geniuses at Plexifilm have spent the past two years developing a Sharpie pen that actually writes in Helvetica!

If you know someone with a sloppy handwriting and you’re looking for the perfect Christmas gift, this would have be it. There is however something that tells me this won’t work exactly as promised, but It’s a fun idea from the guys at Plexifilm (who’s behind the fantastic Helvetica – The Movie).
