I really love type.

In my TypeOne class, we had to develop a book that highlighted five fonts we were particularly drawn to in a unified manner. I'm proud of my final solution.

They're inkjet prints on a slightly textured bright salmon colored paper. The binding is a heavy weight black paper with a subtle speckled pattern.

Avant Garde and Lubalin Graph are amazing.

But anyway, here are the photos. I'm going to post my type final in the near future, stay tuned!

Well Deserved Lubalin Post

Since I embarked upon my venture into Graphic Design, I've been predisposed to use Lubalin Graph Book Oblique, for everything.
It's my default font, my baby.



Recently for my Typography I class we've been given the opportunity to research five specific font families.
Perplexed as to which typefaces to choose, I automatically turned to Lubalin Graph. My second choice, was Avant Garde Gothic.
I was surprised to learn that both fonts were designed by Herb Lubalin, one of the founders of the ITC [International Typeface Corporation] and that Lubalin Graph was based off Avant Garde Gothic.

Herb Lubalin did a lot of really interesting design work and art direction in addition type work in the 70s. I was really excited to learn that he made the PBS and Thirteen logos, both of which I've always been thrilled by.
This Tyopgabor has a ton of his work up.

Here are a few things I really love.
