My favourite letterer Jessica Hische just posted a fantastic article all about type. It is a must-read for anyone who has weaselled their way into a design position and hasn’t actually taken a type class (this woulda been handy when I worked at Electronic Arts).
The post includes her favourite type designers, an unbiased list of font resources, and a whole slew of things to think about when choosing typefaces.
Read it here.
Type explorations by Corey Holms (that insanely talented designer who created the iconic Sopranos logo and roughly 99,000 other things).
I wanted to post about some awesome hand-drawn type by Blake E. Marquis that I saw for sale on YWFT, but then I came across these awesome pencil drawings on his Flickr. So this post is kinda all over the place. Great work nonetheless.
A wild mix of painterly illustrations and type explorations by Ronald Kurniawan. Really unique style – love it.
