Typography and Maps? Winning!

I love nothing more than a good bit of typography and when you combine it with maps… I’m all over it!

Check out these cracking typography map examples by Axis Maps. Not only are they accurate, but each letter used is painstakingly hand-placed taking 100’s of hours to complete.

Perfect!

TypeFACE posters

I love a good typeface project and this ‘type face,’ poster series is a great light-hearted example.

Designed by Tiago Pinto, this project uses different typefaces to create fun faces.

I don’t think design should be taken so seriously all the time!

What’s not to like?

The Infamous Foundry

Following on from yesterdays blog on the importance of typography and the preservation I thought I’d highlight a couple of typefaces I’ve been using regularly for poster work.

Both produced by The Infamous Foundry, a Norwegian company specialising in fonts used for headers. 

The 1st is Fancy Antique Display, this type draws inspiration from French decorative alphabets during the 1940’s and 50’s. It looks great on a cream or grey backgrounds in an off black tone. Definitely worth playing about with.

 

The 2nd is Herbie, an uppercase typeface made up of circles and geometric lines. It evokes a very art-deco feel to work, perfect for elegant minimal pieces.

You can buy both from the TIF website :: cargocollective.com/infamousfoundry at very reasonable prices.

Cheers folks,
