Dimensional Type

Lately I've been sewing up a lot of these typographic pillows. I first was inspired to create these in my typography class this fall, but since the class has finished I've stitched up a bunch more! The goal of the class project was to use typography in a three dimensional way. We get so accustomed to seeing type on a page, but it is a blast to bring those characters into our environment in a three dimensional way!

Wouldn't these be so cute on your bed as an accent or in a designer's office? Use 'em to add a graphic accent to any spot in your life!

Calista

Here is a sneak peek of a brand new typeface designed by... me!
This face is based on a hand lettered sketch I drew for my niece Calista Celine. It has a sunny, casual quality that would be great for display typesetting. The entire face is still in progress (so far I have 26 lowercase letter forms completed). Hope to have more coming soon!

Gorodets

A beautiful new typeface from myfonts.com! Gorodets is extracted from Russian folk art. Designed by Alexandra Korolkova, Gorodets provides a whimsical tool for designers. Below is a sampling from the glyphs. This face provides filled designs for capitals and negative space designs for the lowercase glyphs. The above images are posters designed by John Collins.

Not so Elementary

I never was a Sherlock Holmes follower. I have only read the tales required in high school English classes... The Hound of the Baskervilles and another title about a red something or other. Despite my relative cluelessness about the detective, I am a huge fan of the art created for the recently released Sherlock Holmes. This almost makes me want to pick up a pencil and draw something... I may just do it!
