Typography Tuesday

365 Days of Type is a cool typography collaboration where artists and designers from around the world create and share a single character on the same day. The most recent is one of my favorites, the ampersand.

Do-Hee Kim is creating daily font pairings for 100 days. 

Adam Vicarel's short phrases hand lettered on maps inspire the wanderlust in me!

This roaring twenties inspired ad for The Roosevelt Hotel by Ben Didier could almost be torn from the pages from a vintage newspaper if it weren't for the free Wi-Fi. A really perfect look for a themed hotel.

Lost Art by James Arends evokes the groovy sixties and seventies typography with it's looped, connected letters.

The blog Library of Type is eye candy for type lovers. From the most ornate, illustrated scripts to the most brutal, the range is staggering. These caught my eye, but you should really click through to see the entire collection.

Doves Type printing blocks were thrown in the Thames River almost 100 years ago and recently uncovered. There's a short video story over at BBC. I think it's really cool that they're digitizing it.

This poster is part of IBM's award winning Think campaign from 2012. I especially like the fat overlapping letters and colors.

I love Reddit and discovering this series of scans from The Ad-Man's Deskbook is one of the reasons why. There are nineteen total scans in the gallery and it's definitely worth clicking through to see the rest.

A Graphic Odyssey Poster by Wim Crouwel is a modern tech-inspired poster from 2001. Available for sale from the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
