Alphabet Things

The alphabet is pretty great... and I like graphics when the whole alphabet is used on a poster or notecard or something like that.  I've seen it at Ikea and on Etsy and I'm sure it's other places, too - I think it's somewhat of a trend.  So I thought I'd share some fun alphabet things I've found today.  And I will tell you a bit about why I like each one, too.


1. Type Hi Notecards by Visual Chemist | I love all the colors, and the fact that the "hi" is red.  Besides that, these notecards are letterpressed, and  I really love letterpress items.
2. Personalized Alphabet Typography Print by Bear Graphics | What a cute idea!  And I love that puffy font.  It's really fun.  And the justification of the type (how it's all aligned on either side) is nice, too.
3. An Alphabetic Ode to Helvetica by Modern Pop | This is so cool!  I love the colors and the transparency of it all.  I'm thinking that it might've helped to space the letters out a little more for readability's sake, but I think the concept is amazing and it looks great.


4. Helvetica Poster Typography Showcase by Grace Hester Designs | Great colors, and the font is always a winner.  Helvetica is classic.
5. Alphabet Patchwork Print by RukaRuka | This is so homey and comfortable looking.  I love the use of white space, too - there is plenty of space for the eye to rest, which is important when working with busy patterns like this.
6. Alphabet in Stencil Font by I Heart Modern Art | The font is so cool, and I adore the bright, retro colors.  This is a very fun piece.

Hope you enjoyed looking at these fun alphabet items.  Which one is your favorite?  I'd love to know why, so feel free to comment!
