Inspirational use of type.







The 2005 edition is almost as nice.

reminds me of chris wares style

WOW.

Fantastic. This is sharp like a knife. Usually I dislike seeing so many different styles of type used together, but this is somone who knows what they’re doing.

Yeah, this one is better than 2005’s. I like the judicious use of color, choosing to include the grey and white. The yellow-black-grey looks a lot stronger than the almost nasty colors of the 2005 edition. The grey keeps the sharp contrasts in typographic style flowing together smoothly. Wonderful.

anyone else think the kerning in “writing” is a bit wonky?

great type otherwise.

not hot on the yellow spirograph design element in the 20-0-4. Ohterwise, nice typography and color. I don’t really see any concept here, but decoratively it’s nice.
