posted earlier on None this afternoon; my sister and I made an experiment with her embroidery machine plugged on an old pc and printed the Futura Domus typeface. It works quite nicely… check the picture below; the typeface: Futura Domus has been released on Fontnest a few weeks ago after being featured in Domus back in september 2008.

* Amandine’s recent typographic experiment turned into a A1 poster just arrived. She is really happy – they arrived a little bit late for the opening of the exhibition but quite magically the posters will be sold in a couple of bookshops (list to follow soon) and also on SuperMarketo.
** thanks Jak to pointing us to the printer

As it seems, this font is based on a single structure which then “decorated” depending on its context (?)

O’clock
Nadine Grenier, a student at ESAD Strasbourg, made this kinetic installation called “O’clock”. It is made with 500 clocksworks and every 12 hours you can read this sentence: “le temps passe, et chaque fois qu’il y a du temps passe, il y a quelque chose qui s’efface”. This is a quote from Jules Romains, a French poet, which roughly translates in “Time passes, and every time the time passes, there is something that fades”.

found typeface during a (long) walk at Seven Sisters (from eastbourne to seafront). people used stones to make letters: you can read messages from the opposite hill…

Amandine was Editor’s choice on QBN! She managed to remain calm but she was really happy…
