Hi all,

seeing as Christmas is fast approaching, I've been looking for ideas and was wondering what kind of type-related presents people have been thinking of giving/wishing for?

cheers,

Room and Board is selling framed wood type 'scultpture/art'.

It's not for sale online, but it's in their showrooms.

I can't tell if they are nice, or an insult. Seems a waste of perfectly good wood type!

House's Girard Alphabet blocks are real nice, if a bit spendy for play blocks:

Oops sorry to have repeated this thread elsewhere. That's a newbie for ya. I have a little image that I had printed on a tee for an Optima fan:

How bout a set of these babies!

:D


Why limit your t-shirt choices to a single face like Helvetica when you can pick from dozens of your fave sans and serifs?

I was feeling nostalgic and did some Googling only to discover this one time $400+ type designers jewel is now essentially selling at cover price once again, and there are a TON of 'em :D

I'm still waiting for Mr. Moye to publish his updated version . . .

That reminds me, maybe if I drop enough hints I’ll get those House Industries Girard blocks for my birthday this year since nobody bought them for me last year. If I get those and the 1912 ATF catalog I asked for in the same week I might just die of delight.
