Type Love 2

I sub­scribe to quite a few email newslet­ters, some of which are ded­i­cated entirely to type. Yesterday I received the Font Shop newslet­ter high­light­ing some new type­faces in their shop, and I always love at least a few of them. This par­tic­u­lar newslet­ter was high­light­ing some new work from OurType, a foundry that con­sis­tently pro­duces great work. (They have a gor­geous web­site by the way, lots of huge beau­ti­ful typog­ra­phy.) These are clearly out of my bus­get at the moment, but here are my lat­est obsessions…

Parry and Parry Grotesque

Sansa, Sansa Soft and Sansa Slab

It’s tough to choose which type­faces to choose from my ridicu­lously long list, espe­cially since I’m find­ing new ones all the time. So I def­i­nitely think I’ll make this topic a weekly (or so) occur­rence, maybe more.

Rumplo

If you like well-designed t-shirts you should know about Rumplo. The descrip­tion on their site reads as follows:

Rumplo is a place to find bril­liant artist-designed T-shirts from around the world. Rumplo is also a T-shirt com­mu­nity — a place where you can sub­mit your favorite tees and share them with the world. And Rumplo is a tool that makes it easy to keep track of your favorite t-shirt design­ers, t-shirt shops, and your friends favorite tees.

What’s great about it is that it gath­ers all the best shirts from many dif­fer­ent sites and pools them into one place, allow­ing you to search by color or key word, keep track of your favorites and com­ment on designs. They also send out a bi-weekly newslet­ter that high­lights pop­u­lar tees. The other day week I received a themed ver­sion that sep­a­rated the shirts into dif­fer­ent cat­e­gories, all hav­ing to do with type! I had seen a few of the shirts they included before but some new ones def­i­nitely made it to my wish list. Here’s 10 of my favorites from this week’s type-centric email (links below the photo):

1. It’s Not You It’s Me
2. ABC123 Girl
3. Hel Fucking Vetica
4. I See the World
5. Grandburo Honesty
6. Step Up Your Game
7. Helvetica
8. Fear of a Cooper Black Planet
9. Bean Tee (shouldn’t be a sur­prise I like this one…
10. Ampersand (or this one)

Find lots more like these by search­ing for shirts tagged with typog­ra­phy, check out their blog for more info and def­i­nitely sign up for the newslet­ter on their front page.

I love work­ing with amper­sands when­ever I get the chance. So when I came across this blog ded­i­cated entirely to the glyph, I imme­di­ately book­marked it. One thing that caught my eye right away was this poster designed for My Fonts by Nick Sherman. Through Sherman’s Flickr page I also came across this fun Flickr pool. Love the name (as you can tell).
