Recent Typographic Tastiness
- The Uppercase Journal features a collection of great-looking vintage typewriter tins.
- Flickr features a "Folk Typography Pool," consisting of lettering found all over the place. I especially like the now-requisite Obama imagery. The whole thing reminds me of how notoriously bad auto body shops' signs are--a phenomenon honored in Brian Stuparyk's free MC Auto font.
- Speaking of bad:
- What results from bad kerning? Keming. Love it. :-)
- Apostrophe Atrophy is a photographic collection of bad typography. [Via]
- That's gonna leave a mark: Wrong Font Chosen For Gravestone. (At least it wasn't Comic Sans.)
- How excellently simple are these Oil of Olay ads?
- Design Week honors the top film title designs of 2007. Pity that we can't see them in motion here.
- Peep Craig Ward's illustrative typography and typographic portraits. [Via]

The typographic stuff is cool, but what about the Shatner Show site mentioned in the sidebar on UPPERCASE? Now THAT is cool. :)
[Oh, but it's *so* last month... ;-) Yes, very cool indeed, and worth a bump. --J.]
Did someone say "Typography in Flash"?

Wow John's still posting despite his new babysitting job.
