Played with chalk with my daughter and her friends yesterday. They wrote their names. I wrote:
Beautifull movie. We posted a part of this project a while ago. But this movie puts it all in perspective. Love it.

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 thing on Design You Trust. ”Vai com Deus” is a Typographic instalation on “Ermida Nossa Senhora da Conceição” façade, a chapel which is now an art gallery. Created by R2 Design.
Calligraffiti is a combination of calligraphy and graffiti. It is also a sweet site filled with nice typography and images that will get both graffiti artist and calligraphic people to wet their pants. The man with the plan is Niels Shoe Meulman. He also just released the Calligraffiti book (buy it here) . I, for one, am putting that book on my wish list for christmas (Hi mom).
Sweet. More from A Love Letter For You. We posted a piece from this project earlier. A Love Letter For You is a project by Stephen Powers. I love this project. A lot. Read more about the project.
Stubled upon this letter mystery on Booooooooom today. If anyone of our readers is a up and comming Hercule Poirot, this is your chance. Solve this one and get eternal high fives from Shannon McCubbin (the artist) and us here at HelloTypo™.
A graffiti writer in Trondheim apparently hates typography for some reason.
A new year. A new blog post. A bunch of fun & found stuff. Ståles famous “Stumbled upon on a Saturday”.

Earlier this week Budstikka dropped the news (a bit to early, the writers was not quite done with it) about the world´s second largest piece ever. But Budstikka haven´t got all the inside info that one of Norways best and oldest rap groups, Gatas Parlament, got. Gatas Parlament loves graffiti. So they have posted a good long blog post about the pice on their site. I´ve stolen (with permission) some of the photos the rappers have taken. anyhow, back to the piece. The outline is made with over 250 liters of black paint. I love the work, an specially the ” can you see us from outer space?” sentence. :)

Photo ©Gatas Parlament.. .check out Aslak (the rapper) in the middle of the “R” in crew…
The worlds largest piece was made in LA last year (photo under). It was painted over this spring, so right now the FOS piece is the biggest in the world. (!)
I like type. I like graffiti. This is spot on for me. Nice work!
(What do you think?)

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
