Letraset type sample
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.



Hello typewriter™
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!

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.

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? :) )
