Typefaces gives us signals - Erik Spiekermann raps!

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

For some excellent musings on typography and design from the very wonderful Erik Spiekermann, you simply must watch this great video, written by Mike Croft, featuring Erik Spiekermann; produced by Alphabeat & Parson Research:

A prolific designer, Erik has been responsible for some of the best typeface designs of the last 20 years, was the co-founder of FontShop and has designed faces for Nokia and The Economist.

We would also heartily recommend his seminal book, Stop Stealing Sheep

Baaa-rilliant!

An Alphabet of Trucks

Love photography?
Love type?
Love trucking?

Then you’ll love Alphabet Truck by French photographer, Eric Tabuchi.

He must have driven half way round the world to get this.
It’s either genius or a waste of petrol. Either way we like it.

Keep on trucking: http://www.erictabuchi.fr/index.php?/images/alphabet-truck/
