Dolce Press printed this letterpress business card that looks to be inspired by old wood type posters. It was designed by the client, Suodsey Penn, who has a pretty nice gallery of her work online. I especially like this poster by her:

Design and press studio enormouschampion has this great letterpressed cassette tape design on one of their cards. It has a handy space at the top of the tape to write your message, as if you were writing in the songs on the mix tape. The above photo is by Kristina Contes and shows [...]

The song Won’t Say Anything by Hello Seahorse is a bubbly, handclappy work of beauty and has quickly become my favorite song of the moment. The video is pretty fun and makes you wish you were a part of the band. I found this live version of Won’t Say Anything that is stripped [...]

Designer Mark Chapman just posted a little teaser shot of a really nice typeface that he is working on called Full Circle. The dots are supposed to represent where the point of the compass would be if it was drawn by hand. I just love the proportions, it’s dignified yet futuristic. Can’t [...]

I just noticed that I have hit the 100 subscribers marks on my feedburner stats! My goal was to reach that in a years time, but I have done it in about half a year. I never thought there was that many super nerds out there, but my faith in humanity’s nerdiness has [...]

I’ve narrowed it down to about 5 of my favorites, but there are hundreds of great photos in her photostream. A [...]

Although hip-hop isn’t typically my favorite, Vote for Hope by M.C. Yogi is actually pretty good. What I really love is the video though. It starts off with great typographic animation, and then shows some nice symbol animation, and then has some nice video effects towards the end that got me really pumped [...]

I have decided to try something new. Instead of posting a mega post of typographic photography once in a blue moon, I’ll feature each photo separately so that I can post these images more frequently and they each get their own spotlight. I’ve created a separate category for typography photography so that essentially [...]

I thought this creative use of typography in architecture was breathtaking. It’s looks like some sort of poem, and the words seem to dip into the surface of the wall and emerge in a flowing rhythm. Typophile user ngocngo noticed this on a new building and I’m glad he took the time to [...]

This hand lettering on a door for a “Microanalysis Research and Consulting Chemist” made me laugh. It’s such a whimsical style and the pink paint adds to the fun. It’s the exact opposite of what I would expect to see for such a company.
Seen in dj denim’s photostream, which contains a plethora of [...]
