I’m not exactly sure what the Golden Porsche Sessions designs are all about, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy looking at them. I love the way lomo photography is combined with modernist inspired typography to create fantastic vintage designs.

Illustrator Lehel Kovacs occasionally makes some really nice typographic illustrations based on Yahoo headlines of the day. You can purchase some prints of those, along with other fantastic illustrations at his shop. If you want to follow his progress, he also maintains a blog.

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:

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 [...]

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.

I have decided to try something new.

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 [...]

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.
