Fun and healthy. Via NYTimes.
Facsimile from NYTimes: The Spanish graphic designer Joan Pons Moll is creating a new typeface, but unlike most typographers, he’s doing so with his feet rather than a computer, and he’s slightly out of breath. Taking sneakers to pavement, Pons is planning to run the entire alphabet — both upper- and lower-case letters — in his inventive endeavor, “Running Alphabet.”
Loving this concept. Playing with letters. Hello! letterPLAYGROUND is a fun spot to enjoy custom type. If you go over there, make a letter and namedrop us (HelloTypo™) in your letter. That would make all 25 of us happy. Yay!

I stumbled upon this nice (nasty) picture while researching for the upcoming workshop we´re doing in Zagreb next week. I do not remember the source, probably Flickr-something.
This sculpture is part of an international exhibition that deals with the world of script, design and art. The works of the exhibition describe how text, visual art and design are attached to each other. I saw this one at Kiasma, Helsinki a while ago. It is made by Pekka Syrjälä and the word ei means no in english.

Travelling Letters is a series of exhibitions that change place, size and contents. The first exhibition was organized in St. Petersburg, 2008. Altogether 41 artists, calligraphers, designers and graphic designers from 11 countries are participating in Travelling Letters 2010. Unfortunately I could not find any information on the next exibition.

Yes, it’s old news, but I can’t help to post some work of Wayne White. He transforms cheap mass produced oil paintings into surroundings for great 3D typography. His work has been compared to Ed Ruscha whom soon deserves a post here as well. Enjoy!
I was not enjoying a bus ride this morning when I suddenly stumbled upon The LOГO Flickr group. A sweet group filled with type. Go check it out.
Two (old, but) fun typographical pictures from Isabel Truniger.

Sometimes I wonder if other people are as passionate about typography as we at HelloTypo™ are. The answer is always: YES. Just a little trip around on the Google roller coster, and you can find all kind of screwed up type nerds with all sorts of weird ideas. I like it.
These people for is one example:
Do you see what font it is? (if not, shut down your computer and smack yourself in the head with it)

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!
