Classic type, new and old

• Inspired by WPA posters, Jeff Knowles and Neville Brody created the typeface New Deal for the new film Public Enemies.
• BibliOdyssey pulls some highlights from the Pratt Institute Libraries’ collection of more than 1200 Ex Libris (bookplate) images. (The F. Ranis piece is among my faves.)
• Check out the excellent (and excellently-named) Phaeton, from Kevin Cornell & type designer Randy Jones. See also Randy’s similarly cool Olduvai. [Via]
