Beautiful Typography

I [heart] typography. A lot a lot. Here is some really nice type and why I love it.

By Ugmonk. HERE.

What I love: the big number/letter/symbol that really catches your attention, as well as the simple impact of the design. It makes a statement. And I love the characters themselves. Wonderfully executed and just very pretty.

By PAWLING. HERE.

What I love: The fact that the type looks custom, and how it intermixes with the background design. It gives a pleasant, subtle look.

By Hijirik. HERE.

What I love: The red. Of course. And I also like the big, bold font. It supports the bold statement the word "smile" makes. I also think the slightly distressed/uneven type adds a nice effect - it makes it seem more casual.

By Bookhou at Home. HERE.

What I love: How the letters are connected, and how the serif font still manages to look clean, modern, and minimalistic.

By Simply Pretty Prints. HERE.

What I love: The fun, lighthearted type. Handwriting tends to look that way and it's very charming, especially for a cheerful greeting like this. I also like the white type on black background.

By Roberta Grove. HERE.

What I love: I love the vintage-ness of the old yardstick. And I love how natural it looks. I doubt the original designer of this yardstick spent huge amounts of type analyzing the typeface, and yet it's a strong choice that has a signature vintage feel.

By Camila Drozd. HERE.

What I love: The new take on an old book cover, and the simply gorgeous custom type. I really love Camila Drozd's typography work. Another favorite element of this design is the the way the swirls flow so naturally with the text.

By Ugmonk. HERE.

What I love: The huge A. If only my name started with A, this bag would be even more perfect for me! I also love that this is set in Helvetica (it says so on the website).

By Anthropologie. HERE.

What I love: I just love the whole feeling of this delightful vintage looking journal. The type is very vintage, but it also looks funky instead of stuffy or super formal. And it coordinates very well with the border.
