Trollback + Company.

Thanks to Tim, I've been flipping through all the work on the Trollback site instead of being productive. Check out History of Modernism and Helvetica too!

Typeface!

I had the opportunity to see Typeface at the Gene Siskel Film Center last night.
I'm now planning a trip to visit the Hamilton Wood Type Museum for a weekend workshop of type setting!

Operated by volunteers of the Two Rivers Historical Society, the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum is the only museum dedicated to the preservation, study, production and printing of wood type. With 1.5 million pieces of wood type and more than 1,000 styles and sizes of patterns, Hamilton's collection is one of the premier wood type collections in the world.

Apparently you don't have to be a design nerd to appreciate wood type — I recently discovered my mom has a small collection (that I pretty much intend to borrow forever).

HOT abc's.

The State Library launches Our Own Alphabet (with the help of Frost) as a way to promote and raise awareness about their collections.

A job well done — it caught my attention.
