Wow. This site is a revelation.
The tone, atmosphere, era, and infinitely subtle nuance can all be influenced by typography. I kind of knew this already (think everyone sort of does), but the endless juxtapositions really demonstrate it.

Some of the fonts and colors suggest sunny days. Others suggest buildings, tomes, carnivals and meadows.
My appreciation of typography is basic and undeveloped, no doubt, but as a lifelong lover of verse and classic literature, it is something I should refine.

Found this site from a lead on ffffound.com and just browsed the heck out of it. :)

I love Karman Ghia, my father used to drive me in his own when I was a baby!…. I believe that will be in my memory always.. Its very interesting to see how many people here like Karman Ghia.. why not to start a club?
I love the pic!

Great article John! My uncle is a Volkswagen repairman and re-seller of older used cars. He has many Beetles, Karmann Ghia, Buses and Things. You’d have to make quite a trip to find one though, as we live in Alabama. :)

Another great Sunday type. Really great stuff! I’m really going to have to browse around flickr more often. Daily type is a really cool site, very inspiring. Thanks John!

I’m with Lauren. The ‘type tips’ you publish are excellent, and I hope you keep them coming. I hope you’re doing well, John. Just spent a relaxing weekend in Amsterdam with my girlfriend. First time there, and what a beautiful city!

Milton Glaser’s birthday is tomorrow, June 26, just like me! (My perfect gift: http://www.cosacnaify.com.br/loja/detalhes.asp?codigo_produto=1041&language=pt&showPromo=True , a gift box with Thinking with Type, Grid and The Elements of Typographic Style, all in Portuguese, for only $60!)

Laser cutters rocks! I remember the modern-woodcut from that girl in a past Sunday Type… Oh, If I just had one, it would save me all that hand-cutting in Helwoodica, my experimental woodcut font… Thanks God it’s nearly ready.

And thank you John for this blog!

Thanks for the FontBooklet tip — I had an account already, so I just went in and checked the Print Catalog subscription, which I think should do it.

And perhaps I am becoming Japanese, haha. It’s definitely a place I want to visit. :)

It’s always great to see all the exciting stuff on Sunday Type, but it’s even better to see I won Anziano. I was planning to buy it at some point, but this way I have more to spend on typography books. Except that I just spent it all on typography books. :) One beautifully printed book I just bought is Robert Bringhurst’s The Solid Form of Language. Very nice.

Funny you should mention the FontBooklet. The mailman brought my copy while I was reading this. And it has one of my favorite typefaces: Arnhem.

Congratulations to everyone who did the crossword. There were definitely a couple things that threw me off, but it was fun and I look forward to the next one.
