FruiType
Image: Sarah King
Sarah King has painstakingly carved out a niche in the fruit-carving industry, while exciting type nerds on the internet at the same time! She belongs to a graphic design collective in the UK called Evening Tweed which has a few more of her excellent pieces of work as well as a few of her other colleagues’ work as well.

The 1970s Type
Mark Simonson Talks Type about an edition of Metropolis from 1977.
I have a personal love and admiration for a lot of the careful type lockups from the 1970s. A few years ago I was at a used book sale at a library in Rio de Janeiro and picked up a hardbound 10 year special edition of Revista Manchete, which was stocked full of yummy type similar to what Mark shares. I believe this cover is from 1971.

Douglas Bowman's roulette
I love Douglas Bowman’s big, bold, and web-colorful roulette page (as well as homepage). Each six-digit string is its own HTML color, refreshing the page will give you a different, I’m assuming random, color combination. Nice!

2005 FontShop Calendar
Here’s a great way to get your paws on a free calendar AND stick it to the man. Download each month or the entire 2005 calendar and send it to the color printer. No, for real, it’s a great calendar, a wnice idea for a promotional piece. And by the way, there’s some wonderful fontage as well as graphic design up in the mix.
And while you’re at it, go ahead and subscribe to their font feed. That is, if you love type the way I do!

Quatrifolio, Marian Bantjes
I just bumped into Marian Bantjes’ Quatrifolio and it rocked my socks off. I immediately recognized her style from Speak Up (another fantastic site). First off, what’s not to love about her work – with elements of classical typography, exaggerated “pixel art,” as well as good old-fashioned pen and paper sketching. Her type (letters, that is) has a life of its own – living, breathing, with a personality to boot. And those patterns are sick! ← that means really good.
She’s a terrific “anti-writer” as well. Many designers, myself included, get a little bogged down explaining your entire life in three extremely clever sentences for the purpose of charming the pants off that potential client we have yet to hear from. She handles it well by (kinda) not playing that game. Anyhow, why don’t you start clicking away and see for yourself while I start planning on how I am gonna run her fanclub!
