Critics who kill Speed Racer are morons.

10 May 2008
by Olivier Blanchard
Critics who kill Speed Racer are morons.Come to think of it, let's just call movie critics as a whole "morons." How about this: Go see movies for yourselves, and make up your own minds as to whether or not they pushed the right buttons for you. But back to the Wachowski Brothers' Speed Racer: You may hear or read a lot of bad reviews abou...Read the full post from The Power 150 - Top Marketing Blo... continues

An Interview with Cyrus Highsmith

10 Apr 2008
And I should note that John's idea of "good" handwriting was not akin to that of our school teachers in respect to being "neat" and traditional, but more interested it seemed in the energy and personal style of the handwriting. ... CP: You work on a wide range of kinds of typefaces (scripts, display, text, novelty), and I know that you've said that this is very important to the way you work as a... continues

99designs: Bullshit 2.0

6 Apr 2008
by Kevin
99designs, a new site of considerably questionable motives and ethics, further cheapens the value of original design and is one of the worst yet. Under the transparent guise of “contests,” the site forces designers into spec work for despicable money, undermining all of the value a proper client-designer relationship builds and furthering the idea of design as a disposable business co... continues

The Pain of Evaluating WCM Software

26 Mar 2008
by Kevin
There’s been some good times had (and more coming!) as my company evaluates web content management (WCM) vendors, and the experience has left me with one glaring observation — in complex software, the most important feature, and the one most often missing, is good design.

Our Favorite Typefaces of 2007

9 Mar 2008
Typographica’s fourth annual review showcases the best in new typeface design. Twenty four of the world’s brightest graphic and type designers selected their favorite font releases of the year.

Urbana by Cesar Puertas

5 Mar 2008
This rightness comes in part from an especially assured use of the Dwiggins inspired visual trope of a round curve and cut curve on the interior lines of the letterforms. ...But I think in time designers will come to appreciate the solid reliability of it’s design along with it’s quiet novelty that draws and maintains the reader’s attention.

Taz III by Luc(as) de Groot

5 Mar 2008
What makes me so particularly fond of Taz and other de Groot typefaces is the care with which they are made, and most of all, their excellent spacing and kerning. ... Spacing must be one of Luc(as) de Groot’s obsessions, not only expressed in the actual work but also in presentations and interviews which repeatedly emphasize the need not only for kerning pairs but for kerning triplets (than... continues

Scriptonah and Casual Brush by John Nahmias

5 Mar 2008
One typical downfall of type designers is to assign a connecting-style ‘r’ as the primary character in a font containing mostly letters which are not expected to connect. ...Nevison Casual has, as its original alternate, an orderly nonconnecting ‘r’ but numerous other lowercase letters in the font are simply too rowdy to let it do its job.

Restraint by Marian Bantjes with Ross Mills

5 Mar 2008
Where the majority of ornamental type begins with a typeface onto which swashes and decoration are added, the typeface Restraint, designed in collaboration with typographer Ross Mills, was built inside-out. The characters themselves have been defined by the negative space of the ornament, as if the letterforms are just a lucky happenstance.

Purista by Tomas Brousil

5 Mar 2008
In other words, I’ve been craving a font who likes to party but who can also help out with the dishes. ... Editor’s Note: Like Eric Olson’s Stratum (2003), Purista is a thoughtful 21st century nod to early 20th century geometric grotesques like Eurostile and Bank Gothic .

National by Kris Sowersby

5 Mar 2008
While there is a hint of grotesk, it does not simply copy but is truly a reflection of the present — type made in and for the digital age (of course!). ... While National is only the second retail typeface from KLIM it has already been awarded a Certificate of Excellence from the TDC in Typeface Design 2008.

Minuscule by Thomas Huot-Marchand

5 Mar 2008
Thomas Huot-Marchand, the designer, goes to extreme lengths to explain these details, but the first thing I did was to print a page from the PDF specimen provided. ... Some of the tricks employed look familiar: the tops of stems bent backwards to open up joins and very explicit counters were measures I employed when I designed FF Meta , which was to be used at 7pt and below by the German Post O... continues
