Helvetica Notebook

Helvetica Book

Veer has this nice Helvetica notebook available. I actually purchased the book last week and also received a free one at the Helvetica movie premiere. Order one and you’ll be the cool guy in the next meeting.

Choose sides in the design world’s love/hate relationship with Helvetica, or have it both ways. This two-sided notebook features a loving quote in Helvetica Std on one cover, then flips to reveal a darker intent. Ruled throughout with additional quotes in unobtrusive 3 pt. type. Favor one side or work from both, toward the middle. A center divider keeps the peace. 192 pages, 6 3/4″ x 8 1/2″.

Featuring quotes from Helvetica, a documentary film by Gary Hustwit, co-produced by Veer.        

Font Book

FontShop International has released it’s long-awaited fourth edition of FontBook, the largest type reference in the world. I have to have it!

FontBook is the largest type reference in the world.
Since 1991, “the big yellow book?? has been the trusted friend of designers, typographers, advertisers, manufacturers, publishers, historians, and anyone else who uses type.

FontBook is the only guide that compiles original, digital typefaces from multiple manufacturers and presents them in a systematic way.

FontBook is all-inclusive, with typefaces both old and new. It contains all the classics of the art of printing, insofar as they are available digitally, as well as the latest font releases and extensions.

FontBook is a type encyclopedia with an abundance of carefully researched notes on type designers, year of publication, similar fonts, and additional language versions.

       

365 Pages


Nice little Journal from BB/Saunders. Available at Blanka.

Journal; A daily record of occurrences, experiences, observations or thoughts; A daybook. 365 (almost) virgin pages before you to do with what you will – that never ending ‘to do’ list, those phone numbers with no name written against them, the ingredients you mustn’t forget for tonight’s dinner or that idea that just might save mankind.

Whatever you decide, use it you must, because this an object loaded with opportunity, a companion for your journey. A time machine that can help shape your future and allow you to revisit your past.

If that all sounds a little romantic and a tad daunting, have no fear just hold on tightly to your pens and take things one page at a time.

Alternatively, it works equally well propping up tables.
