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

Found this sweet type experiment on Youtube.

From the makers:

“The results of an extensive exploration with shadows, the One Day Poem Pavilion demonstrates the poetic, transitory, site-sensitive and time-based nature of light and shadow.
Using a complex array of perforations, the pavilion’s surface allows light to pass through creating shifting patterns, which–during specific times of the year–transform into the legible text of a poem. The specific arrangements of the perforations reveal different shadow-poems according to the solar calendar: a theme of new-life during the summer solstice, a reflection on the passing of time at the period of the winter solstice. The time-based nature of the poem–and the visitor’s time-based encounters with it–allow viewers to have different experiences either seeing a stanza of the poem or getting the whole poem. All of these possible experiences are equally valuable and have meanings unique to the individual. This technique has the potential for producing particular effects and meanings within an architectural environment. Without the use of a source of power other than the sun, this project uses light and shadow to push the boundaries of communication and experiential delight.”

Found this sweet site via ILT. Typenuts is a site with a bunch of free iPhone and Desktop wallpapers for you to download. And if you are a designer with the love of type, you can send your design to the makers, and perhaps your design will be among the sweetness.

Sometimes I wonder if other people are as passionate about typography as we at HelloTypo™ are. The answer is always: YES. Just a little trip around on the Google roller coster, and you can find all kind of screwed up type nerds with all sorts of weird ideas. I like it.

These people for is one example:

Do you see what font it is? (if not, shut down your computer and smack yourself in the head with it)

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!

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? :) )

A new year. A new blog post. A bunch of fun & found stuff. Ståles famous “Stumbled upon on a Saturday”.

Long time no blog. Solution; post loads of random type photos.

It will be fun.

a bit messy (wrong sizes on photos), but fun.

Promise.

That´s it for now.

Aasmund bloged about the IQfont the other day. I liked the idea of a typeface being made by a car, so i googled a bit and BAM! I found a free download of the font. So, there you go… download and have fun.

peace.

Popped by Onionmag just now, and damn the first post I saw was a killer!

Bela Borsodi made these letters for WAD magazine. Beautiful!

Thanks Onionmag!

Long time ago in Bethlehem I bought this tee (I just forgot to write about it.):

Ffffffound this nice Alphabet shelf. Sharing it.

Just surfing around on the big waves of typography on the many, many design related websites out there. Since it`s Sunday, and since the sun have givn me such a nice color (C0M79Y21K0), and since I`m in the mood for some pictures, I`ll share them with you guys (and girls)! Woho! Here we go:

All the pics is from the infamous www.  Some photos from this site, this place, here plus here. Kudos to the makers.

Kjefta posted this a few days ago… It`s LINKable.

Check it out!

HOT DIGGITY DAMN!

I saw an amazing concept on FormFiftyFive yesterday, and I just had to tell our readers about it. Jas Bhachu is a student (!!!) at Liverpool School of Art & Design. Not only is his portfolio amazing and clever, but he have mada a Rubik’s Cube Font Generator. It works as an regular Rubik´s Cube, but it generates type, and works as a stamp. Again I say: DAMN!

(I din`t have time to crop the images, sorry)

What met me in my postbox made my day. Fresh package from House Industries with tee I ordered some days ago. Happy weekend!

Came over these glyph tees from Myfonts. Yes, I’ll wear them anytime :-)
However, they’re not for sale, let’s push them to sell! 

I got my new tee in the mail today. O the Joy!

We recieved this book yesterday at Tibe T, a 600 page brick of a book. Not much work will be done the next days, hehe!

This must be a card trump classic. each card has font styles with data like designer, date, price etc. Why haven’t I seen such cards before. Why didn’t i grow up with such cards. What a better place the world would be if everyone grew up with these. Give one to your loved ones for christmas! You can find them here at Magma Books.

Check them out here

This is my first typo tee. I´m now official addicted to typo tees… This one I bought at Turn nocturnal. Just two weeks after this tee arrived I had to buy this tee:

from House industries. I was mr pleased, so i went on the internet do do some more money spending. Again i visited Turn nocturnal and got this tee:

I am now a happy camper.

This beatiful Ampersand you can buy from House Industries. A perfect gift for the type maniac, supporting your precious type books. I want one for christmas!
