Great showcase of the work with Katachi Typeface, designed specifically for iPad. I love how Katachi tries to make the best magazine experience for each issue, to explore the possibilities and push the boundaries for what touch interaction is. Great work by Andres Torresi and @katachimag.

This is a custom made alphabet made for an album cover. The tools used in this project are soil, home-made light table, paint brush, camera and photoshop.

After the photoshoot, the individual letters was put together in photoshop and adjusted on top of the font that was used as a template. Yes, I had a print out of the alphabet beside me when i formed the soil. I decided it was a safe thing to do for maximum readability on the finished alphabet.

And this is the album cover this typography was made for. If you are curious of the music, click here.

A super sweet font family designed by Aurèle Sack was just released by Lineto. The family includes 18 cuts and 4 weights and is named LL BROWN. I love this typeface. I need this typeface. I´ll buy this typeface.  Now!

(Thanks to @Heydays and @Teipu for the heads up.)

I´m an Art Director at Tibe T advertising agency. I got that job recently, and my first job here was to make a logo for the musical Rock ´n Roll Wolf for Trøndelag Teater. The musical is based on the movie Mama. The lead characters is a goat and of course the wolf. And everything goes down in the forrest. My friend and work mate Aasmund suggested that I should go for a walk in a forrest. So to make the logo, I went to the forrest and found some tree bark. So the typography was made with bark. Here is the prosess:

Its a long time since I took the train. When I travel by train, I try to draw type with a steady hand. Two type ideas merge in to one. Hmmm … Its probably more a mind map than fine art.

Nice animated font by Calango.

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.

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.

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.

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? :) )
