Typography

Jaume Plensa is an artist who works with type in public spaces. Here are a few of his stunning installations and sculptures with typography components.

This is a sweet poster glorifying one of my favorite towns! San Francisco by Armada Print Co.

I'm going to start sharing cool typography on Thursdays as well! Here's a beautiful photo from Lotta Agaton of letterpress type for a perfect way to celebrate the day. Happy Thursday!

David McLeod is a talented illustrator who has a way with words. Check out some of his stunning creations. As an artist and designer, I understand form following failure, but I can't help but think his Form Follows Failure is a success!

I Wonder What it's Like To Be Dyslexic by Sam Barclay is a stunning example of beautiful typography conveying a powerful message. It's available to purchase after being funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign.

Like many readers, I became familiar with John Langdon's ambigrams in the book Angels and Demons. His Earth, Air, Fire, Water graphic was inspiring and I became fascinated by his technique.

I have great respect for talented people who can create gorgeous lettering. Raul Alejandro is talented and his lettering is gorgeous! 

Self-Portrait As Your Traitor by Debbie Millman is a gorgeous book filled with visual poetry that I've added to my (long) wish list. Take a look at some of her introspective, visually powerful poems.

Someday I'll have enough wall space in my office to hang a gorgeous Periodic Table of Typefaces poster by Cam Wilde. I think the gray one is my favorite, but I may redesign my hypothetical office in the future.
