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!

Dissociative identity disorder is a typeface with two distinct personalities.
Following in the tradition of Tyler Durden and “Jack” (Ed Norton’s character) in Fight Club,
the typeface is at once an aggressive risk taker, and a solid, trustworthy friend.

Autobahn is an dutch design agency with a love for type. Autobahn designs special graphical projects, often with an illustrative and typographical angle. I really like the way they play with type in this particular project (glad I´m not themodel). The project I´m talking about is called Arts In Area Development.

“Arts In Area Development is a collaboration between artists and area developers. Together they are looking for a way to provide a place for art in areas yet to be developed. Will the implantation of art and culture into area development projects increase the quality of the development plans? What possibilities will there be for the artists? And will there arise involvement with the future area residents?”

Since Trond Aslak posted this post today, I thought that I could post som pictures from when Sami was in Trondheim in the name of type. He held a workshop and a lecture. Then we took him out for a beer.

Yup. There you have it. Once again Congrats with the prize, Sami!

When writing with irony, which punctuation marks have you used? I use ;) quite often. Now Michigan-based Sarcasm has made a “SarcMark” that will change the way we say the opposite of what we mean.

What-type-are-you

Always wondered what typeface you are? Now Pentagram can help give you an answer…
Take a look at the site. The password seems to be “character”(According to CR) Good luck :-)

New release from Hoefler & Frere-Jones. Vitesse is as H&FJ say a slab serif for the 21st century. Read the story behind Vitesse, see the different styles, and take it for a test drive here.

I took Vitesse for a spin, I highly recommend it.

Our friend (and fellow type club member) Stian W. Bugten and his buddy Simon P. Egli has worked on a font the for a while now. We blogged about the project some time ago, but things have happened since then.

Copy+Pasted from Simons site:
“Sea Ark Sheep a contextual typeface.
This font is getting its look only by typing. See a preview on vimeo.
Started as a project at Central Saint Martins, finally this font is getting released early 2010 by the publisher Die Gestalten. For a preview a small serie of riso prints has been published. (100 sets of 7 A3)”

Lucky me. I got my hands on one of those preview sets. I took some pictures of the sweetness on my kitchen floor.

Well. Enough talk. Here´s the pics:

SeaArkSheep3

SeaArkSheep1

SeaArkSheep2

SeaArkSheep4

On Stians Flickr there is some photos from the preview printing in Zurich. Check it out.

Looking forward to seeing the font on sale at Die Gestalten.

Via MyFonts Twitter stream I stumbled upon this blogpost about a super sized sign on a blimp hangar. And yes, of course, it´s Helvetica (120.000 pt (sic!) ). Now I know where to park my blimp.

Read the story over at Woodtyper.
