Fresh typography

Here's a quick roundup of some nice typography works I've spotted lately.



Cardon Webb went around his neighbourhood seeking out handmade posters for missing pets or rooms for rent, and re-designed the signs as typographic treats. Lovely!

A beautiful new script typeface from master hand-letterer Jessica Hische; buy it from Myfonts.



Finally, some old-skool candy, care of my favourite-ever type designer, Herb Lubalin. Archives of tons of his work have been put on display at Cooper Union in New York. I wish I could get over there to fawn over them in person, but luckily Justin Thomas Kay has put lots of the specimens on Flickr. Check out the whole set here. It's often hard to believe Herb's work is over 40 years old; it still looks bold and fresh today and you can really see the influence he's cast over many modern typographers.
