Alex Haigh wrote in to tell me about a new typeface he’s created called BAQ Rounded that is available for purchase. His portfolio is always worth a look.

Paul Rand Flickr Group
The folks at Grain Edit have created a great flickr group around the work of design legend Paul Rand. There’s already some excellent pieces but if you have more join up and add them or if you appreciate the work join up as well.

Excellent portfolio by Sylvia Tournerie.

I found the link to the Function/Form site in one of the comments below and I love these posters they’ve made.
Spell It Out viaLetter
I’m in the process of decorating the nursey for my son, who will be here next month, and I picked up some letters from viaLetter to spell out his name on the wall. The letters are made out of synthetic hardcore foamboar and you can get the letters in Bauer Bodoni, Rockwell Condensed, Helvetica Neue 75 and Frankfurter. I of course picked Helvetica and I’m pretty happy with the quality of the letters but the cut can be a little better. The “I” came out a little funky. I now have to figure out the best way to stick these onto the wall. Removable double-sided tape might work just fine.
