Fontsmith has released a lovely new typeface called FS Emeric. Design studio, Believe in, handled the the campaign, which consisted of a beautiful type specimen booklet, and a series of studio posters from studios like Pentagram, Build, NB Studio, Hey, Bibliotheque, and Non Format. Each poster has been designed with one specific weight of the FS Emeric typeface. Screen printed onto 175gsm Colorplan stock and hand numbered, each poster has a limited run of 50.
I’m not into The Strokes, but I am into the cover design of their latest album, Comedown Machine. It was designed by Brett Kilroe and Tina Ibañez of Runner Collective, and the minimal, distressed design is a tribute to an old RCA package design for their recording tape. Looks like it was a fun project to work on.
YES is Build’s second on-demand print poster. It’s a high-quality digital print on Hahnemuhle Matt Fine Art Smooth Photo Rag Bright White 310gsm stock. It’s design by the always talented Michael C. Place, and is available in A0-841x1189mm, A1-594x841mm, and A2-420x594mm sizes. Grab on here.
AGI Open is a design and education conference featuring over 30 of the world’s leading graphic designers – all members of the Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI). This year the event is in London, so if you’re in the area, definitely check it out.
But what I want to mention here is their awesome Tumblr, which features some great work from legends like Müller-Brockmann, Crouwel, Hofmann, Harder, Kramer, and a ton more. I can stare at this site all day long.
