Helvetica again? If I shoud choose my typeface cookies, it woud be gingerbread Bello.

Evbjorn tweeted about this amazing project; The Apphabet. A font composed out of existing iPhone App icons. Freaking lovely! The concept is by Ine Reijnen, and the design is by the different app-makers. You can even download it and have some geeky fun. I did.

(btw: check out the number “2″ in the apphabet… seen it before? :) )

Wenche from OnionMag guided us, via Twitter, to this site. 15 great examples of artworks based on typography. Here is some of my favorites:

And mos def this one (I don´t know who made it):

This one is quite funny. And I might ad it´s a t-shirt. Source.

And this poster would fit nicely on my wall… It´s made by Happycentro.

BTW: Happycentro deserves their own blog post. Amazing work at their site!

Since Trond Aslak posted this post today, I thought that I could post som pictures from when Sami was in Trondheim in the name of type. He held a workshop and a lecture. Then we took him out for a beer.

Yup. There you have it. Once again Congrats with the prize, Sami!

Sami from Underware won the award for Finnish Graphic Designer of the Year 2010. Hope we see you soon in Trondheim.

Something cool to look at  whilst eating lunch:

I was out on a bookmark-walk just now, and on Swiss Miss I found this blog. A blog all about the &.

& I love it.

When writing with irony, which punctuation marks have you used? I use ;) quite often. Now Michigan-based Sarcasm has made a “SarcMark” that will change the way we say the opposite of what we mean.

Always wondered what typeface you are? Now Pentagram can help give you an answer…
Take a look at the site. The password seems to be “character”(According to CR) Good luck :-)

New release from Hoefler & Frere-Jones. Vitesse is as H&FJ say a slab serif for the 21st century. Read the story behind Vitesse, see the different styles, and take it for a test drive here.

I took Vitesse for a spin, I highly recommend it.

After my daughter went to bed to night I sneaked out her box with toys, and just started writing with them. Toys are fun.

PS. do not tell my daughter that i borrowed her toys with out asking…

Our friend (and fellow type club member) Stian W. Bugten and his buddy Simon P. Egli has worked on a font the for a while now. We blogged about the project some time ago, but things have happened since then.

Copy+Pasted from Simons site:
“Sea Ark Sheep a contextual typeface.
This font is getting its look only by typing. See a preview on vimeo.
Started as a project at Central Saint Martins, finally this font is getting released early 2010 by the publisher Die Gestalten. For a preview a small serie of riso prints has been published. (100 sets of 7 A3)”

Lucky me. I got my hands on one of those preview sets. I took some pictures of the sweetness on my kitchen floor.

Well. Enough talk. Here´s the pics:

On Stians Flickr there is some photos from the preview printing in Zurich. Check it out.

Looking forward to seeing the font on sale at Die Gestalten.

Nicely painted signs.
