Played with chalk with my daughter and her friends yesterday. They wrote their names. I wrote:

Happycentro made this beautiful clay type illustration for New York Times Magazine.

One of the Cmykkel girls and her boyfriend, art dude and musician Tore Reisch, made an alphabet of pine a while back. Tore made a piece of art with it. Nice. I´ve been a Reisch fan since I first saw a painting by him, on a wall in Stallmesterveien in Trondheim back in ‘99. Cool to se local people play with type!

We have written about Jessica Hische and her super cool project; Daily Drop Cap some time ago here on HelloTypo™. Now she have made some sweet letterpress prints of selected letters. You can, and must, buy them over at her shop. BTW if you have been a HelloTypo™ follower a while, you´ve probably also seen these Hische designs before. Yes we love Jessica. Bookmark that girl A.S.A.P.

I stumbled over this sweet final project from newly graduated design student Patrycja Zywert. She says it best herself: This project is a typographic installation and a poster advertising the film about Norman Foster, titled‘How much does your building weigh, Mr. Foster?’. The idea is to express the aspects of Foster’s striking architecture by creating large geometric letters F, O, S, T, E and R. The installation also aims to become his architectural signature.

Build is a beautiful modular typeface Scottish designer and illustrator Steven Bonner made. It is for sale at YouWorkForThem. Perhaps it´s the way the shapes are mixed with this lovely colors, but I´m loving it. And I hope you do to.

Nice. Unknown artist. via The Greatest Hits.

It´s summer. We´re gone fishing. Meanwhile enjoy this alphabet tape.
