Eurico Sá Fernandes is 18 years old. Yeah, that’s right. 18 years old and his portfolio is better than most people who have been in the profession for years. I hate the whole youth culture worship that we are always guilty of but every once in a while you just have to be a little amazed by such raw talent. This is one of those times.

Jonas Bergstrand graduated from Forsberg’s School of Design in 1997. In 2000 he came under the representation of the Central Illustration Agency and has since worked for numerous clients. He has has a kind of 60’s Saul Bass kind of thing happening in his work that is really likeable and just downright cool.

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.

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.“
