The first link is a website I found over
the summer and I thought would fit well for this blog. These two NYC designers
who both were unlucky in love found themselves single at the same time and
decided to date for 40 days. This website chronicles their experiences with
videos and daily questionnaires. Now how this relates to typography...Each of
the 40 days has two unique type designs giving dating advice. Some of the text
appears to be hand done along with the illustrations. These are not only funny
sayings but the type styles and colors create a dynamic grid and element for
the website. The typography transforms what could have been an interesting
experiment into a stand out project.

This second link features beautiful
wedding invitations with hand done type. You're always used to seeing tacky
overdone wedding invites with tiny script fonts. These invitations combine
wittiness and great design. They have a more modern feel and relate more to the
interests and personalities of the couple.
Speaking of weddings below is the link to
Jessica Hische's interactive wedding invite. You may have already seen it but
it's pretty cool. I figured I would share this since she is a Tyler celebrity.

Here is a different approach to type, one
that is not on paper. This Spanish design group did a tribute to iconic
typefaces such as Helvetica and Caslon by painting women's faces with the
letters. This is a beautiful and unique expression of letterform that can be
admired on the human form. It allows the font to be admired somewhere other
than paper that also combines many art forms.
