Everything All The Time

ckck:

Herb Lubalin ranks as one of the finest graphic designers of his time, and he’s also the man responsible for typefaces like Avant Garde Gothic, Lubalin Graph and Serif Gothic.

New York City’s Cooper Union school is currently holding an exhibition called Lubalin Now which features his work and more recent works in the same spirit, so if you’re in New York and in any way interested in design, I would highly recommend checking it out (I would if I could). The exhibition runs from now until December 8th with FREE ADMISSION at the Cooper Union Gallery, 41 Cooper Square, New York, NY.

The company I work for, started going through a re-branding phase right after I started, and luckily I convinced them to switch the company typeface to Avant Garde. I’m not sure how I pulled that one off, since they are so stubborn. But I’m glad they made the change. It is easily one of, or is entirely, my favorite type family.

Ogaki by Aron Jancso

After much of a long and heavily anticipated amount of time, Ogaki is finally available to buy. In my personal opinion, it sort of breaks the mold of font designs recently. With all of the type factories popping up on the internet, there have been a surplus of fonts which tend to blur together and look very similar to others. I can’t say I’ve seen another font that looks like Ogaki. Well done. Click through to buy….

Ñ by Joel Lozano

As part of an exhibition on Typographic letters, Joel was asked to recreate the Spanish letter “Ñ”. He used one of the most basic ways of direct printing or block printing: potato stamps. He ended up with a really detailed and fantastic piece, and judging from the other designs in the show, I would say his by far is the stand out.
