Just—My—Type

An interesting typographic project where the (mostlyonly caps) fonts are freely downloadable as AI files – free like in free beer AND free speech. Does it reminds you something we spoke about for quite a long time now?

Just—My—Type™ is a side project of designer Jakob Nylund / Formconspiracy.

Ebon Heath loves to cut out paper letters

Just found this nice work by Ebon Heath who makes this fabulous type sculptures called Stereo.type. There still is the question of how big this things are in real, but it’s pretty much fun hiking your eyeballs on this.

History

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

Via Typothèque
Via r-echos » Blog Archive » A New Typeface: History

A display typeface system consisting of 21 layers inspired by the evolution of typography. These 21 independent typefaces share widths and other metric information so that they can be endlessly recombined.

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”.
