Everything is going to be alright

Alright Sans is a contemporary sans-serif with a clean, prudent voice that avoids looking stiff or bland. Actually, it has just the right amount of warmth to convey a serious-yet-friendly tone. It has an open structure with shorter-than-normal capitals and a large x-height, giving it a roundabout economy that works exceptionally well across all media, in both large and small sizes. It’s extensive character set, rich OpenType features, and wide range of weights makes it a reliable and versatile workhorse.

Spider Type

Spider Type is a handmade eps font. The project was made guide of helvetica-bold and it is free for personal and commercial use.

My biggest fear is spiders but I have to admit, this font is pretty cool.

Typography in Ice

Really neat way to showcase this font, Trump Gothic. The designers, YouWorkForThem, literally froze the type face which turned out really cool, adding natural texture to the font rather than using computer generated textures. Which don't always look appealing.

Earth Font???

Rhett Dashwood has spent his spare time from October 2008 to April 2009 searching Google Maps in hopes of discovering land formations and buildings resembling letterforms. These are the typographic landscapes he has spotted in Victoria, Australia. Rhett works as the Director of Wade in Melbourne, Australia and is the founder of the online creative resource Heavy Backback.

More than meets the eye

His experimental typographic project “The Depth of Typography” challenges the assumption that type is flat and only viewed from a single vantage point. His glyphs bend and twist through space, creating abstract sculptural forms. However, when viewed from face on the traditional typographic form is maintained.
