Sunday Type: Letters as particles, leaves, & more

• Stihl takes a whack at the news with their various power tools.
• Motion
  • Type materializes, swirls, and explodes in this Audi “Filter” spot. The making-of piece makes one appreciate the enormous labor that goes into even a short piece.
  • Mercedes-Benz drives through a world of type. Love that lightning.
  • Nico Casavecchia’s La Mancha uses type to beckon viewers to “the Spain of Don Quixote.” (Man do I wish I could speak Spanish in that voice; I could really irritate the family.)
• Furniture
  • The laser-etched Type Tray is meant to keep your, ah, family ampersands frosty.
  • Dig this “Limited Edition” chair (for anything but sitting, of course).
