Synopsis

Letter hunting, type spotting, font finding—whatever you want to call it—designers, typographers, and handletterers have long taken to the streets for inspiration in the bountiful and amazing examples of type that surround us. Whether hunting for forgotten vintage signage, a perfect piece of street art, or colorful handpainted ephemera, this lightly guided notebook from the popular design collective Friends of Type (authors of the Keep Fresh, Stay Rad Postcard Box) provides ample space to record, sketch, and riff off all the letters in the world that are fit to hunt.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

The Friends of Type are a loose collective of well-respected type designers from New York and San Francisco. Since 2008, they've been collaborating on commercial work as well as on an online project where they post their cheerful experiments into the cutting edge of type-design.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

This lightly-guided journal helps aspiring typographers draw, record, and be inspired by the typography they find out in the world. Based on the popular instagram hashtag #letterhunt (in which photographers log interesting shots of signs, fonts, hand-lettering, etc), the Letterhunting Journal features sketpages to hand-draw and sketch found type (as well as log the where/what/when of each piece) and a variety of simple lessons about creating letterforms and type
