Every once in a while I’m going to feature a Flickr photographer that has consistently been producing quality photos. This week, I’m featuring the photographer that goes by the name Harpy. 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 [...]

I smiled when I saw this font created from parts of a bike bell. It’s a pretty unique one, and I’m glad I found the creator’s blog while checking out my referral logs.
As an unrelated note, I’d just like to say that I’m sorry for the lack of recent posts. I had been [...]

Lori Hutchinson is making some really fresh paintings. They have great texture, and I always love some ethereal oddness in paintings. I particularly liked the one called Umbrella Weather, but the one I posted above was just so bold, unique and well executed, that I had to feature it. It’s called Hanging [...]

Our school has brought in a fantastic visiting artist in printmaker Koichi Yamamoto. I had to look him up as soon as I got home from seeing his work and I found that wonderful website with a ton of nice sized images of his work (I recommend the monotype galleries in particular). I [...]

I like this type quote design by designer Narani. It’s a very nice looking style, and the quote is pretty interesting. Apparently the quote is by Mac Baumwell, as I found in this great list of type quotes from Typophile’s forum.

I’m liking this new type foundry called Latinotype. Their fonts are fresh, young, and professional looking, but only $10! It’s in spanish, but pretty easy to navigate even without knowing the language. I also love the parody on Linotype’s name.
