GARAGE

I spotted this hand painted sign above a garage on the road to the Château d'Ussé in France.

Here's the Chateau:

Michael Hacker

I was searching for reference for computer hacker's for a project at work and found Michael Hacker.

hand drawn type body art

I can't remember where I found this originally, it was floating around in my 'pictures' folder. If you know – let me know so I can credit it.

It reminds me of a poster by Stefan Sagmeister's an Austrian graphic designer and typographer. His poster came about after he had been invited by AIGA to give a lecture in Detroit. An assistant carved the poster details onto Sagmeister's body with a craft knife.

Din Rounded

I'm a self proclaimed Vag Rounded slut. So when I received an email from the font shop announcing FontFont's Albert-Jan Pool has shaved the corners off the essential designers typeface Din, I got a little shiver. 5 weights and no italic as yet. The black weight is nice and juicy. Buy here.

lafraise

Like a french version of threadless with super limited edition awesome Tees.

showusyourtype

This is a cool idea – Neue, an online magazine the creators claim is about the two things they adore – type and cities. Designers contribute artworks consisting of illustrations made up of the name of featured cities. There's Berlin, NY and Barcelona so far and the work is top notch.

The next City is Hong Kong and submissions are due September 23.
