I love this! Paul Rand is channeling someone through Twitter and he’s not holding back. Found this on http://www.workingformorework.com
Émigré has a new type specimen book out. Looks interesting although the samples have a little too much outer glow for my taste. I agree with Émigré in that any font can be successfully combined with any other font.
“it's a matter of how you use the fonts in combination. Size, color, tracking, contrast, layout and overall purpose determine how fonts can be combined successfully.”

Nice! Director Justine Nagan investigates how the value and purpose of older analog media have changed as our society has transitioned into a digital age in Typeface.

I went into the Letterpress studio on Saturday to make cards for 2010. I went in not knowing what I was going to do but 2010 was obviously the theme. I used the vast array of wood type and just began playing around. First with the large FUTURE text because we all know 2010 is officially when flying cars make their debut and flying cars = The Future! Also we’re in the decade that Marty McFly arrives from the past. Can you believe we’re finally going to get hoverboards!? Anyways, I played around with different colors and varied the amount of ink on press. Double sided of course. I then looked around for some numbered type and laid that out to overprint. I love the layered look! So fun. I then took the master sheets and cut them up into cards to send out. I couldn’t resist keeping some master sheets to hang on my wall though. Printed all on Crane Lettra Pearl white.

Web Museum of wood type and ornaments from Unicorn Graphics. I’m getting ready to print at The Arm NYC this weekend which has an array of wood and metal type to choose from, although I got a couple plates made through Boxcar Press. I might experiment with overprinting some wood type over my designs if I have time.
