Vintage Cassette Tape Design
Project C-90 is building an impressive visual archive of cassette tapes and insert cards. With thousands of images from over 50 brands, it’s easy to drool over them as a designer. It was more interesting to realize I remembered some of

Stilla numerals by François Boltana c.1973
An old favorite caught my eye today in hand-lettered form on the back wall of a old corner market. Designed in 1973 by François Boltana, Stilla has become popular again in large display type. The letters are just as nice

Objectify typeface by Teo Menna
Created by using a subtractive process with a paperclip, x-acto, ink pen and a photocopier. While the letterforms are interesting, they do rely on context with each other. What I like most is the choice to preserve some of the

Yes, &, No, by Richard Pearse
“My art is really heavily influenced by the music I’m inspired by and attempting to create. I think about music in terms of loud and quiet colors, textures and patterns, and to me a lot of these pieces are interpretations

A video from Roel Wouters

New Work – Wood Type Letters
A while ago, I salvaged a random bunch of loose wood type letters from a printing company in Iowa. They were made between 1820 and 1910 and hadn’t seen the light of day since about 1920. I wanted to take
