Top Ten Typefaces used by book design winners

Interview with František Štorm — thank you Ralf Hermann for interviewing the designer of the wonderful typeface I fell in love with some time ago (via).

FontStruct — this microsite of Fontshop lets you create and save full alphabets with all sorts of basic shapes. Too bad my graphic card doesn’t stand Flash.

FF Meta & FF Meta Serif now have a well-deserved website of their own with plenty of nice things to look at and the whole story behind the creation of FF Meta Serif, sister of the iconic sans serif typeface.

Bible Design — Illuminated Manuscripts to Postmodern Power Plays (via).

Nazario Graziano’s portfolio features some very good pieces, and though they’re a bit too trend-compliant to my taste, I really like those two posters. Nazario Graziano is also a founding member of Revolver Lover, the team behind the excellent PDF magazine ANTI.

Typography animated: Ya no sé qué hacer conmigo

I don’t know what the song is about but the animation is great: type, trees, coffee beans, type, cows, Molière, type, hamburgers. And type. You’re perfectly free to turn off the sound.
Thanks Pierre for the link!
