♥ / West by Fontwerk
A big thank you to Fontwerk for sponsoring my blog this week.
The brand new typeface by Daniel Perraudin is a compelling mix of conciseness and pragmatism. West follows in the geometric sans serif tradition, yet it achieves independence and its own distinct character. West has a simple yet sophisticated formula: visually similar forms do not repeat.
Bold, distinct and original — it’s perfect for branding, wayfinding and editorial projects.

An Alphabet Made of New York City Trees

Times Newer Roman
I wish I had this typeface when I was at university: Times Newer Roman looks like a teacher-approved font, but it actually lets you cheat on your paper, as this typeface runs bigger than the regular Times Roman.
Baker Menu
I don’t own a bakery, but I still want the Bakers Menu Lettering System.
Listen To Your Heart

Zach Lieberman and his wife Molmol Kuo created an iOS app that lets you draw with type, it’s appropriately called Weird Type. Type floating in space makes my heart go pitter patter.

Variable Fonts
In this article over on printmag Dan Rhatigan tell us everything we needed to know about Variable Fonts, which are still in the early days of conception, but that isn’t stopping people from experimenting and pushing the boundaries.

Mathieu Tremblin paints over Graffiti to make it legible. This made the graphic designer in me chuckle.
