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.
Kreativ Forum Trondheim arranges their regular happaning Fredagspils tonight. We (HelloTypo™) are going to talk about type, show some sweetness and get the beer drinking people to play with markers. So If you are in T-town, be smart and pop by Blæst at 16.00.

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.
Oslo based Ole Fredrik Ekern is a design student at Westerdals School of Communication . He have made a super sweet font (Gami) by folding paper. It works both in 3D and as vector. Nicely done.
Me and fellow type club member, Aasmund, played with pencils and paper yesterday. I took (crappy iPhone-) pictures of it, and loudly said that I would post them here. So here goes.
Autobahn is an dutch design agency with a love for type. Autobahn designs special graphical projects, often with an illustrative and typographical angle. I really like the way they play with type in this particular project (glad I´m not themodel). The project I´m talking about is called Arts In Area Development.
“Arts In Area Development is a collaboration between artists and area developers. Together they are looking for a way to provide a place for art in areas yet to be developed. Will the implantation of art and culture into area development projects increase the quality of the development plans? What possibilities will there be for the artists? And will there arise involvement with the future area residents?”
Read more about the project, and see all the “behind the scene” pictures here. It´s sweet, promise.
My friend and artist Bjørn Kowalski Hansen (one of the co-founders of the legendary t-shirt brand and art project Håkki™ (check out the super cheesy and fun intro on this site) ) has some sweet art projects going on. I went through some of his work, and stole the type relevant pictures. (sorry Bjørn) If you like these pictures, please visit Bjørn here. There is loads of this over at his site. Enjoy!
I´m really looking forward to seeing this movie: Typeface. From the site - “Typeface focuses on a rural Midwestern museum and print shop where international artists meet retired craftsmen and together navigate the convergence of modern design and traditional technique.” Mmmh! We´ve posted the Typeface trailer before, but now they have made some sweet posters to:

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:
This one by Sick System from Moscow:
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!
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.
Next,
At work

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!
Some of our favourites for your pleasure
