thanks john, these are great!

i believe the desktop uses a certain font that starts with an m by jos b, yes?

cheers!

oh, first post too! yay!

Mark Webber’s linocuts and the grocery list illustration are superb, Johno, and Siho’s characters even more so. I’d like to know who the pen belonged to as well — fantastic installment. P.S. Transitional 511?

Details on the creative team behind the Career Junction print ad.

I tried reading the description below the Mexican poster and I don’t think it says anything about who designed the it. Don’t take my word for it though— I’m not sure. My Spanish is extra rusty. ^^;

Wonderful post, as always. I love Mark Webber’s work and the link to 4 dead celebs font art. Thanks!

“go down in the anals”

Now _that_ is a quality typo :)

Queen is written in Bauer Bodoni Std isn’t is?

The linocut maps are terrific, thanks a lot for sharing the link. As you mention Siho’s work, I’m thinking that Japanese culture is one of the written word: walking in Tokyo means being surrounded and even overwhelmed by words. A paradise for type lovers.

Hi Johno, I hope you’ve had a good week!

Just wanted to say this was a fantastic sunday-type.. A great start to my week, thank you :)

The linocut by Mark Webber, Matthew Anderson’s tool-type and the Mexican poster made my day.

the desktopo calendar uses “museo”

good week to you :)

Great roundup John! Always enjoy the sunday posts. The Amsterdam Linocut is just faboulus. Queen = Bodoni (from Bodoni Roman, the Linotype Originals) I think. Have a great week.

Just FYI: The Spanish poster does not specify who did the poster. This is what it says:

Only for Mexico

Looks like Bodoni (Standard) to me…

desktop calendar = museo
queen = it’s a bodoni, but i’m not sure which one :(

i had a cat named serif once… and i have one called fleuron :)

cheers

For the mexican poster it does say who design it if you go to the link and it was indeed design by Hugo Alberto Sánchez. And I can be sure of this because I’m mexican.

One of the best Sunday Types I’ve read until now. Cheers!

Just posting to comment that this is another great entry.

Great post! It’s like christmas everytime I open i LT.

You guys should check out http://www.spinningword.com . Saw it the other day; some neat manipulation with presidential candidate’s names.

Some really beautiful stuff this week. That linocut letering is really something else. For the October calender I’m going to say it is Museo 300 and the other look like Bodoni to me.

I’m going to guess that ‘Queen’ is Linotype’s Bodoni Classico because of the ever-so-slight dip in the top right serif on the u (and I’m taking Jon’s advice ;) ) I think it’s the bold weight, too, because of the more squat tail on the Q (that was really throwing me!). Definitely difficult to tell because of the angle. So what is it John?

Love the hammer from Matthew Anderson! Creative type treatment like that really intrigues me; not to mention I’m insanely jealous because I can’t ever seem to get my stuff to look that good!

The art from Siho is beautiful. Why is eastern art so captivating??

Interesting roundup..few really great typographic elements..I love :) Thanks!

Lauren—for me at least, the captivation of eastern letterforms come from the cultural difference. I have absolutely zero knowledge of the content or meaning behind each character, so I’m able to interpret it without any kind of “baggage”—just the pure forms.

Justin, good point. For me, I also get a “zen” feeling from it, very balanced and structured, peaceful (sorry to those who truly practice Zen, I know it’s a lot more complex than I make it). Many eastern artists have an excellent grasp of proportion and the golden section I think.

wow great…
so interesting make me more inspiration
thanks for sharing

wow….awesome post.

also, great blog. i love typography too. awesome way for me to see it in so many various forms. on this post, my two faves were the mexican wrestling poster for it’s simplicity yet great design and the grocery list. brilliant.

Over on the Stuff I Found I posted the ‘name’ of the illustrator that did the St Sebastien you’ve got up…the comment didn’t appear, so in the event that there was a hiccup rather than a moderation queue, here it is again:

I really like the putting your skills to better use design, a great design with plenty of scope.

hi Johno, some further info on the grocery list illustration here
http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/career_junction_grocery_list

As always, you manage to find brilliant sources of inspiring type, and present it in a way no one else could. Love the site, keep up the great work!

I LOVE THAT GROCERY LIST! That is really awesome. I like the other works too but that one just stood out to me. I love that you love typography because I take for granted fonts but you highlight the art of it all by itself. It’s really cool and inspiring to me.

Umm, can’t really deal with the Mark Webber stuff. I thought you were going to start including disclaimers before such overstimulating posts?! :)

ps) I am ALL OVER those prizes this week… :)

Yes; you are correct. The designer of the poster is Hugo Alberto Sánchez (México)… he said in the blog.

That Queen is Bodoni Classico Regular, I’m positive.

I love the grocery list… takes me back to all my doodling during college (I never created anything quite so interesting as this, but it was fun)!

I forgot how much I LOVE this website!

Summer’s been busy, but now that it’s turning to Fall, it’s time to curl up in a sweater and dish over fonts. Oh, how wonderful a good font can be to a girl!

Sweet! I love those “reasoning behind the type” info like the Sebastian Lester link. Wish it was more in depth though… let us know if you find more.

There is a link missing for the first Sunday Links entry.

I believe the link is Double or single quotes?—Jon Tan

Yep that’s definetly a Bauer Bodoni!

Hey I just saw you’re using BSA for some spots on your sidebar…hope it works, it’s been working like a charm for me!

oh btw, that Linocut lettering just made my day :)

i love the cat named Serif! That’s so great… though I may have them beat.

I never had the chance to name a pet before my fiancee bought me a little orange tabby cat I named

Clawed Garamond.
