Sweet type from Brooklyn designer Dan Cassaro, known to some (but probably not his Mum) as Young Jerks. Nicely put; he puts words on paper so that they might be accountable for themselves. His handy work is available in poster, logo, book and even font form and his blog isn’t too shabby neither, and while you’re there, he’s involved in the rather eye catching 50and50 Project. Cassaro spoke at this year’s Weapons of Mass Creation […]
I think you might just enjoy this one. Texas-born Brooklyn-adopted Dana Tanamachi is a hugely talented typographer. But more than that, she has etched a remarkable name for herself producing work of sheer beauty and originality in chalk, working for clients as West Elm, Rugby Ralph Lauren, Google, The Ace Hotel, Adidas, EveryDay with Rachael Ray, Harper Collins UK, and Garden & Gun Magazine. Originally moving from The Lone Star State to make her name […]
Boulder, Colorado. Home of two man design practice Berger & Föhr. By their own libretto; “Berger & Föhr practice cohesive visual communication characterised by modernism, minimalism, objectivity and the desire to create lasting, sustainable work.” Nicely crafted manefesto for sure. Their work is clinical, über stylish and, considered down to the last detail. For me, something about it feels more European in finish than we’re used to seeing from our American counterparts. Regardless, I’m a […]
From the love of screen printing their own marketing material to the fine quality they deliver for their actual client Oneighty seems to have found the right balance. This Burnley outfit off a very comprehensive portfolio with excellence across every medium they seem to put their hands to. Tw. @Oneighty_studio
A lot of thought and care goes into every brand that the boutique agency Anagrama create. Focusing on beautifully crafted marks that empower their clients, Anagrama’s work produces well managed and positioned brands. Their blog also makes for interesting reading. Tw. @anagramastudio
The thing about Luke Ritchie, you see, is he was once almost attacked by a hippo. Now that may or may not sound significant to you, however Luke probably* had an epiphany (*I say probably – it’s speculation, I don’t actually know). Unlike most who might take this occurance as a message from Hare Krishna to venture to Goa and ‘find themselves’ in yoga before going on to invent a new brand of natural yoghurt […]
Illustrator slash typographer pimp Spencer Harrison has an embarrassment of award riches. His work has been both published and exhibited and he’s spent time around the illuminati by way of a placement at design demi-gods Pentagram. But enough preamble; behold, bask in the glory of oddly dark his world… Tw. @spenceroni
Get your font junkie self over to newly-launched Wood Type Revival (site designed by the awesome Bearded), purveyors of rare historic wood type, lovingly digitising them for the modern designer. There are some real corkers in there and we’ll be checking back to their blog in earnest anticipation of seeing great examples in action, particularly now it’s been announced the foundry is available on Typekit. (Roycroft is a personal favourite, incase you’re asking). Tw. @woodtyperevival […]
