Humanizing Typefaces
Thursday, July 24th, 2008

I ordered some Obama stickers a week or so back from Sticker Robot and they just came in. Designed in conjunction Shepherd Fairey of the Andre the Giant Has a Posse fame, they look pretty sweet in person.
They also have a few other Obama sticker varieties in stock, and the profit from all the sticker sales goes straight back into getting more stickers made and getting more visibility for Barack Obama presidential campaign.

Cameron Adams over at TheManInBlue.com recently posted an article where he asked several prominent typographers to send him a sample of their handwriting. He then puts it up in contrast to some of their work. It’s interesting to see how some of the more famous among the type industry write on a day to day basis.
This article reminds me of the book Inspirability in how the author writes about each designer shown along side a survey filled out by hand from each designer. Some some the designers take the survey pretty serioiusly while others are pretty comical.

Recently I’ve been enjoying this simple typographic screensaver called Word Clock, those with CRT or plasma displays need not apply. It was created by a fellow named Simon Heys. He’s actually got some pretty neat stuff in his portfolio. I suggest you check it out.
Also, why aren’t there more cool screensavers like this?
