Typeface Talk on "To the Best of Our Knowledge"

Public Radio International

Wisconsin Public Radio’s “To the Best of Our Knowledge“ show had a great typography-related discussion today for all you typofile nerds out there.

Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones discuss one of their more famous typefaces, Gotham, and how the Obama campaign came to use it. Then Matthew Carter discuses his most recognizable creation—Verdana. And, yes, there is a bit about IKEA’s adoption of this screen font, along with a few animated reactions, heh.

The remaining interviews are nice as well, Kitty Burns Florey (whose name sounds like a rather scary children’s story) discusses her latest book “Script and Scribble: The Rise and Fall of Handwriting“ and Tracy Honn of the Silver Buckle Press talks about the Golden Official #6 press from the late 1800s.

Check out the audio here—enjoy!

Hip to be square—and isometrical!

Aakash Nihalani

I’m loving the simplicity and boldness of Aakash Nihalani ‘s “fake” isometric tape bombs. Also check the Flickr photos.

Chris Anderson's free "Free" book

Free by <br />
Chris Anderson
Highly recommended book for all you cheapskates out there! No, really, Mr. Anderson explores some really interesting topics regarding the concept of “something for nothing.”

Listen to the free audiobook downloaded from the iTunes store. You can also read the majority of the book at Google Books.

Pursuit of happiness

I’m a little late to regurgitate this sweet bit of tertiary linkage thanks to Mr Bilton, but hurry up and check out Maira Kalman’s take on the pursuit of happiness. Two personal icons for me personally are Benjamin Franklin and the guy who sort of invented the safety pin.
