FontShop is celebrating 20 years of delivering sweet, sweet digital fonts. It started with floppy disks, packed with the Spiekermann brothers font design, in 1989. Here is a really fun statistic site (yes, it is fun!) they have put together. Not only stats, but fun facts and more historical treats.
Nice project from Colin Sebestyen on Vimeo on how to animate type with either Motion or After Effects. They’ve used Futura, and it creates live-like glyphs for each letter. You can download the projects to give it a go for yourselves.
Love this smooth playful type visual by Jorinna Scherl. Nicely done :) You will find more mork form Jorinna Scherle her.

Two good friends from my study time in Melbourne, swede Henrik and aussie Matt collaborates on the project Hank & Matlok. They have a distinct style of their work, and fill out each other. Always with a sense of humour and unpretentiousness. All hand drawn type :-) Check out their work! Here is a small interview with them.
Melkeveien made a really bautiful typeface for SDG and their client Statoil. Yes, it´s for the same profile as the much talked about redesigned logo… (Statoil and SDG is presenting the new profile at faglig frokost 9. desember at DogA (Oslo) ) I like the typeface. Good work Melkeveien!
Got a newsletter from YouWorkForThem yesterday, with loads of new font releases. Many nice fonts indeed. But one caught my eye: the font Blobz, Designed by Jeff Proctor. Why? I don´t know. Perhaps the colors. But I am a sucker for hand made organic and twirling fonts. Guess thats the old graffiti artist in me. I don´t think this one was the coolest/best font in the newsletter, but it was the one I thought was worth mentioning.
Here another pic, but without color… I like color. I like black&white also. I like type. (nice poem?)
TTC (Trondheim Type Club) started out in 2008 by Aasmund Hegglid and Trond Aslak Øvrum. The idea was made in 2007 as something we missed in our town. A breeding place for type-fanatics.
We are now a group of people with relations to the design/advertising industry in Trondheim, Norway.
We all have passion and love for typography, and want to share our ideas, inspirations and knowledge with everyone. Kern or die!
