A fantastic set of easily recogonisable film posters, without any ‘proper type’ on it. A great example of how abstract shapes and images can be used to describe the film, without using the actual words. Can the use of images and shapes in this way be described as typography? Typography doesn’t have to be words.</p> <p>EDIT: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blankaposters/">See more from the set here</a>.</p>http://thegrid.tumblr.com/post/573486863http://thegrid.tumblr.com/post/573486863Wed, 05 May 2010 09:18:00 -0400typographyfilmposterjurassic parkblankminimalabstract<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0zfttQVo71qamx04o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The 7 Deadly Typefaces by <a href="http://holmes-sweet-holmes.com/">Patrick Holmes</a>.</p>http://thegrid.tumblr.com/post/526285981http://thegrid.tumblr.com/post/526285981Fri, 16 Apr 2010 14:39:29 -0400Typefacetypography7 deadly sins<a href="http://www.pentagram.com/what-type-are-you/">What Type Are You?</a>: <p>This also relates to my previous post. I cannot believe I haven’t posted this before. It’s pretty old now but I thought I would post it anyway. I’m sure many of you have seen Pentagram’s ‘What type are you?’ before. It’s basically a little flash applet which tells you what typeface you are based on your answers to four personality type-questions.</p> <p>My type is Courier. What’s yours?</p>http://thegrid.tumblr.com/post/495656187http://thegrid.tumblr.com/post/495656187Sun, 04 Apr 2010 09:24:00 -0400typographypentagramfontwhat type are you<a href="http://www.noob.us/humor/if-fonts-were-human/">If Fonts Were Human</a>: <p>This short video is hilarious. I found it whilst doing research for my type essay, investigating relationships between typography and human personality/preference. This video, although not directly relevant (i’m more interested in the visual arrangement of letters rather than typeface design), in a weird way is probably the most useful thing I have stumbled across. Well, maybe it isn’t, but make sure you give it a watch anyway!</p>http://thegrid.tumblr.com/post/495647264http://thegrid.tumblr.com/post/495647264Sun, 04 Apr 2010 09:19:03 -0400typographyfontshumanhumourfunny<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l03t37jRxI1qamx04o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Haha, really funny, and sort of true!</p>http://thegrid.tumblr.com/post/484498669http://thegrid.tumblr.com/post/484498669Tue, 30 Mar 2010 12:42:43 -0400typographytypefacesfontfunny<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzy8lhte7T1qamx04o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a>Jackson Cook’s</a> ‘Typography for the Modern Gentleman’. </p>http://thegrid.tumblr.com/post/477177394http://thegrid.tumblr.com/post/477177394Sat, 27 Mar 2010 12:32:05 -0400Jackson Cook’s ‘Typography for the Modern Gentleman,’typographygentlemenbook<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzn0d4OZSp1qamx04o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.behance.net/handmadefont">Hand made font.</a></p>http://thegrid.tumblr.com/post/463336787http://thegrid.tumblr.com/post/463336787Sun, 21 Mar 2010 11:00:40 -0400typographyfontsofahand made<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzdlgbfeAj1qamx04o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a>How to Make Love to Your Type.</a></p> <p>A clever and rather funny way to learn about type.
