Heather Hardison recently opened a show at San Francisco’s Curiosity Shoppe featuring food-related bits of hand-lettering and illustration. The show’s pieces were inspired by the work created for her blog of the same name.
I’m loving Long Story Short, a project by Archie McLeish which typographically renders common digital speak acronyms in a decidedly non-digital style.
This beautiful, limited edition book is the result of a collaboration between Jon Contino and German studio, Sven Hoffmann. Developed for La Marzocco, an Italian espresso machine manufacturer, the book was created as a gift for clients and partners. The resulting design,…
