Hugo Hoppmann has some really simple but considered work in his portfolio. There is some nice use of typography going on throughout his body of work and it’s pretty impressive considering his tender age of 21 years.
There are some stunning examples of simple layout and beautifully composed typography happening in the portfolio of Seoul, Korea-based design studio Workroom.
New York-based graphic designer, Jason Arias has some interesting typographical work in his portfolio, including the 2d image that was cut apart then photographed in 3d all to be finalized again as a 2d poster above.
There is just page after page of lush and beautiful examples of calligraphic typography and lettering happening within the Flickr-folio of Luca Barcellona.
Rev Laboratories is the work of dutch designer Bas Mantel. He has some really interesting typographic work happening all throughout his portfolio. He takes a really different approach to his layouts.
Lee Fasciani has some nice display faces up for purchase.
I wrote about Jon Contino’s typographic work back in October but it appears that he may have put a few more tasty tidbits in his portfolio since then. His hand-styled type work is top shelf.
Lettercult has wrapped up their favorite typographical selections of the first half of 2009 and there are some real beauties in there. Be sure to click the link to see the second page of the roundup as well.
Marta Cerda Alimbau has updated with some nice vector type as image illustrations. I see a slight hint of a Trochut influence but maybe that is from doing a stint at Vasava. Don’t get to click-happy on the site though, it’s pretty easy to break.
Well, this will be on every design blog out there over the next few days but it applies here for sure, so here is the deal: HypeForType is the newly established digital type foundry from Thinkdust creator/originator Alex Haigh. I mentioned the project back in January and now it is officially online.
There are some interesting fonts already up. I am digging Alex Trochut’s contribution. You will definitely be looking mostly at display faces though, not really any text faces to be found as of yet. There are some really distinctive personalities being conveyed in the fonts and that is what you want when picking out a good display face.
A little about the project from the source:
“The vision was to create a type foundry showcasing the best in today’s typographic talent, as well providing a platform for keen eyed creatives to find and buy truly unique, hand-crafted fonts to complement their work. We hope it’s worked. Time (and type) will tell.
Through collaborations with award-winning yep designers, HypeForType offers a veritable feast of fonts for anyone interested in experimenting with typography, designers getting back in touch with the classic skill and brands looking to commission something standout.“
The new typface, Arco has been released by the clever people behind You Work For Them. The font was designed by Nicolas Massi and is available for $30 smackers.
I just really love the color choices in the smaple layout above.
Narani Kannan has some really nice typography happening in her Behance-folio.
Really digging these apparently stamped woodblock letterform/typographical layouts from Dosdecadatres. I first viewed them in their Flickr-folio but they also have a website. Their site frustrated me a little though so I recommend Flickr to the impatient.
Inquietto is the work of Barcelona-based designer, animator and illustrator Oscar Marchal. There is some really nice typographical work in his portfolio.
Brighton-based graphic design studio, Transmission sent me a link to their site today and I was really impressed by their typographical work. There are some really striking examples in their portfolio.
Really interesting use of typography happening in the Flickr-folio of Borisbo.
Designer/typographer Andy Chung on his latest typeface:
“I took Neighbourhood as a challenge to create something that had the graphic expression of a display face while still maintaining some of the functionality of a text face. In the end I created something that I feel has the best of both worlds; an ultra simple sans serif text face with a large set of alternates which when combined with the regular characters create a new graphic display look. Neighbourhood is being released under the Creative Commons by-nc-sa Licence which allows others to remix and tweak all working files. As of right now Neighbourhood is limited to only a Regular weight, however the project is up for expansion through creative collaboration to whoever is interested in taking part. This collaborative process has already began as the spacing of the font was graciously taken care of by Igino Marini who runs Ikern.”
Download this really exceptional typeface here.
I saw his earlier in the week but rediscovered it (and remembered I should mention it) after a visit to my alma matter DIK.
