Found these marvelous Letraset type samples from circa 1980, by Christof Gassner, on one of my favourite blogs Burlesque. I´ve nicked three of the pics, but to see all click your way to the source.



We did a thing with KF-Trondheim last weekend. Now they´ve posted a bunch of photos from the event. Check it out por favor.
I stole a few pics:

This is a huge typewriter, and if anyone gets me one of these for my Bday, I´ll be a happy camper forever and ever ever for ever ever forever ever etc. And a half naked woman (preferably Sonya Henie) should always type my letters for me. I should smoke Marlboro Light and wear a hat. A big hat. I would send letters to every prime minister, in every country, asking for more ink and paper for my huge typewriter.

On second thoughts, I´m happy with just the typewriter, and actually, I don´t smoke, or like ice skating. A typewriter and a hat and I´m in!
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.

Found this image, made by Sebastian Cremers. Hope people are ready for some listening tonight.
Great concept and excecution on this branding project for onedotzero by Wieden + Kennedy London. By interacting with the audience they create a fluid and changing brand for onedotzero. Check it out!
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.

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
