Typographic Wedding Invitations

I thought I would share with you 'Jammers' the design for my wedding invitations. A mix of 'buffet script' and 'Vag rounded', printed on hammer white, finished with pink mounting on black pearlescent card.

They have taken an age to design, print and hand make, but I feel are well worth it. Not a floral pattern or vector in sight.

CHART WELL

I love ligatures. The merging of two characters within a typeface to create a more confortable spacing and natural flow for the readers eye. Something practical and strangely beautiful. Even the non practical ones; some seem totally unnecessary, but I love them even more.
Now here is a really innovative use of the ligature system within OpenType fonts. Chartwell, "a family that explores the use of OpenType to interpret and visualize data." Type in numbers - get an infographic. Genius.

It's also not a bad typeface. Head over to TK Type for more info and to buy your copy.

NO MORE

I'd just like to say that I don't want to see any more of this 'light painting' photography. Unless it's as good as this:

NICE TYPE OF CAFE

This is my kind of cafe. I'd be far more likely to go and spend money in a place which had good taste in design.

That's Star Wars in Hungarian, apparently. Have a look at these crazy movie posters. Either they got sent totally different films to the rest of us, or there was an abundance of lsd at the time. Either way, they're pretty cool.

URBANIZED

Gary Hustwit, the man that gave us the thoroughly brilliant documentaries Helvetica and Objectified, has put a video on kickstarter to help finish off funding his new film Urbanized.
This time looking at the design of cities, Urbanized will be a
fine edition to Hustwit's design series. Head on over to watch the video, and if you have a few spare bucks, donote a little
bit towards the budget, and get some nice little goodies for doing so.
