I’ve mentioned Eric Smith’s awesome Live Now project before, but it’s now expanded into a whole new community. Check it out for stories, interviews, artwork and more. They’ve even partnered with HOW books on a publishing deal, which I am super excited about. You can read more about it right here.
I always love checking my Google reader to find that Beast Pieces has updated. Every new project they feature exemplifies how they push the boundaries of letterpress. And this project for Jeremy Gardner stationery, designed by Duel Purpose, is no exception. The registration is meticulous. And the printing on the envelope flap? Amazing. Check out a couple more images right here.
On my wishlist: this clean and colorful world map print.

Maybe this isn’t a new thing, but I certainly haven’t seen it before. Sway Space decided to create a line of business cards for kids so that parents can arrange playdates—a pretty cool idea in itself. And to make them extra fun, they letterpressed them by using a rainbow roll, resulting in a range of multicolored typographic designs. So cool!
Arctic is a headline family created by German designer Henning Skibbe. Interestingly enough, his background is in graffiti, which as you can see informs his work. You can purchase individual weights, or the entire family at MyFonts.
