Paul Belford: Waddesdon Wine

I’m loving the identity and packaging that Paul Belford developed for Waddeson Wine:

Waddesdon Manor is the historical country seat of the Rothschild family in the UK and home to Waddesdon Wine, the official distributor for the Rothschild collection of wines. The identity is designed to balance the rich tradition associated with Rothschild wines with a more modern approach to the wine business.

Type Love: Icing

I’ve been loving everything Great Lakes Lettering has produced since they launched at the end of last year; and Icing, their newest font, is no exception. I especially love the idea of combining Icing with their other fonts for personalized envelope addressing. They make that easy for you with their “Winter Mix Package” which includes Icing, Frosted and Frosted Illustrations.

Kelli Anderson: Paper Type Experiments

For her Typo San Francisco talk, Kelli Anderson created these incredible paper type experiments. Each one features intricate letters — mostly white on white — that are cut, shaped and folded out of paper. I can’t even begin to comprehend the time that went into creating each one of these pieces — patience is not one of my strong suits! — so needless to say, I am impressed. Head over to her blog to get a closer look and check out the rest of the pieces from the series.
