Custom messages spelled out in your favorite office supply. The font Olimpyc was created specifically for this purpose (although we like it on the screen/in print too). Each Letter was designed within the constraints of a standard 3″x3″ Post-It pad. 26 pads in all; each set with a separate sheet of punctuation marks.
Don’t miss the rest of NeonGreys work, for example back on track!

Neo2 is a really classy and cutting edge Spanish magazine writing about everything modern and experimental. With a good eye for good typography and graphic design provided by Ipsum Planet. One way you know they are making this magazine for high fashion creatives and designers. Is that in every issue they print a code which gives access to experimental typeface.
So a real collectors item. But the good people of Neo2 have collected all the fonts and you can now download them for free.

Rick Banks from Face 37 has updated his site with a slick flash interface. On showcase above is a typeface/project called Form.
“After looking at Armin Hoffman’s Die Gute Form poster and Herbert Bayer’s universal typeface I constructed an alphabet based on their letterforms. Inspired by Wim Crouwel’s Soft Alphabet, I constructed a grid to create the modular alphabet and programmed very tight letterspacing into the font lending itself to the style of Die Gute Form”

New typeface Black Slabbath from YWFT!
“There’s only one thing about this new typeface that isn’t colossally black: the razor-thin white space. It slices through and between geometric characters, creating a juxtaposition of contrasts and rhythms. Typeface delivered in OpenType format. The heaviest typeface in the world, Black Slabbath, is now available.”
