Live.Love.Laugh
Posted by fontgear in Uncategorized on November 28, 2012
We have all seen ‘Live, Love, Laugh’ on everything from wall decals to photo frames to mugs. You could say that up until now, there where two types of people – those who have one of those decals in their living room & those who don’t.
This ‘Live, Love, Laugh’ initiative by Franse Saritika may change all that – a series of three phrases.
What do you think? We rather like it…
HANDmade Type
Posted by fontgear in Font Related, Interesting on November 16, 2012
To say that designer Tien-Min Liao has created a unique alphabet doesn’t quite cut it. By painting shapes on her hands, she has made a complete set of letters, both upper and lowercase, including several italics. It isn’t, however, that easy.
She also gave herself a constraint to creating this set – the shapes drawn initally on her arms had to be used to create her entire alphabet. Thats some pretty impressive hand coordination…
You can view her entire set on Behance.
Karloff = Beauty + Ugliness
Posted by fontgear in Uncategorized on October 22, 2012
Karloff is a new typeface by Peter Bilak. It is a self-proclaimed combination of ‘high contrast Modern type of Bodoni and Didot with the monstrous Italians.’
There was a lot of thought & planning behind this typeface. You can read about Bilak’s thoughts behind the design and see sketches of it here.
The video, we think, is quite brilliant, too.
