Sweet books by ACTAR


A nice variety of design, architecture and illustration books at very competitive prices.

Inspiration for perverts… I mean typographers…




I have this theory about all great typographers being somewhat like sexual deviants. You might hear a teacher or a fellow designer state something like this:

“Aww man, what a fit font!”,
or “That font is sexy!”


usually followed by gestures like “squeezing” the curves of a glyph.
This made me think about the relationship of the designer and his type. I believe a typographer – usually the male ones – dresses his type in a similar fashion as he would dress himself on night out. Peacocking, huh?

This gave me a headache today… But its quite cool…

January began with a workshop by Saku Heinänen and a visiting lecturer Andreu Balius from Typerepublic. It is unbelievable how much useful info they managed to fit in this short time.
Thank you Andreu and Saku for a really nice workshop! :)
