I started this typeface back in April and haven’t really touched it in a month or so. Before my hiatus I figured out a few of the rules on certain letter combinations and I also started on a light version. I’ve been meaning to get back on this so I can finish it up but I’m just dreading the thought of having to create a font out of this. I love designing the characters but when I took a look at some of the font applications out there it really killed my motivation. I know it’s part of the process but I’ve always hated the “production” part of any project.

Anyway, let me know what you think.

I Love Typography (don’t we all) is a great new blog about, yup you’ve guessed it, TYPOGRAPHY! Definitely looks promising.

From the author:
The simple aim of this blog is to record and share those findings, and to get your typographic juices flowing.

Highway Signs

A great slideshow by The New York Times showing how the typeface used on highway signs was improved to create better legibility. What’s really interesting is how they used a proportion-based grid system to create an overall layout system to be used across all signs.
