Sneak Peak of a New Typeface

I recently started working on a new typeface. I’m still in the early stages but I do like where it’s going with the curved edges and slightly condensed design. The plan is the do a full upper & lower case set in bold and regular with a large x-height for the lower case characters.

You can see a few more shots on my Flickr page. I’ll be updated this page as the work progresses.        

Suprb

I’m back and feeling better. I appreciate all the “get well” comments. Thank you.

Anyway, it seems like the multidisciplinary design studio Suprb is finally back in action with a new site and a new partner. It was originally the brainchild of Andreas Pihlström but now it’s a two man team that includes Emil Olsson.

The duo just released a new site for musician Ben Lukas Boysen. Can’t wait to see what else comes out of this studio.        

Out of Commission & RSS Feed

Sorry about the lack of posts the last two days. Turns out I have a herniated disk in my neck (these computers will kill ya) which is causing severe pain down my left arm. I can’t spend much time at the computer because it just increases the pain so I’m going to stay away for the next few days. Hopefully on Monday I’ll feel much better and get back in the swing of things.

The RSS feed seems to be working again. Please let me know if you’re having any problems with it. Thanks!        

Naturalis x5

I try really hard not to post work that’s been heavily blogged about on other design sites, but sometimes I do make exceptions. This is one of them.

Rich Lyons, AKA Breakmould, is now working at Sea and he contacted me about Naturalis, a sexy new promo that they’ve just finished up for the UK paper company GF Smith.

The 24 page promo is printed on the GF Smith’s Naturalis Smooth Absolute White (330gsm/160gsm) and features Pearlescent foiling on the front and back covers. The launch is to be accompanied by a limited edition of 200 posters, also featuring foiled text.

The fifth in the series of ‘Naturalis’ from GF Smith features compelling photographs by celebrated Art Director Peter Saville and artist Anna Blessmann at the Tulis Russell paper mill in Fife.

Naturalis x5 is launched on November 5th in Manchester. Contact GF Smith for further details.

You can check out more photos of the work at my Flickr page.
