This photo from September’s Anthro catalog caught my eye – especially the oversized framed type chart on the left. I would like to do something similar in our home…sounds like yet another project has been added to my list…

As I was helping to finish up our massive home office overhaul I was enjoying a cold Fat Tire beer and set the glass down on our desk. I realized at that moment we need new coasters to go with our newly re-arranged office. For some reason I’ve always been obsessed with coasters, and found these laser-etched bamboo type beauties at Veer. I love the bamboo texture and the array of different type forms. These, I think, would be an exellent addition to our newly de-cluttered desktop!

Jonathan and I have a lengthy list of fonts we’d like to purchase (oh, if only we had several thousand dollars just lying around to be spent…) and this gorgeous typeface by Alejandro Paul is currently at the top of the list. It features an astounding 1,470 glyphs (if you’re not a designer, you may not know what that means – but trust us, it’s a VERY good thing to us type nerds).

Well, it happened. One of our absolute favorite font houses, Hoefler & Frere-Jones, came out with a new typeface this past week. As always, it’s a beauty. Sentinel is a slab serif for all occasions. It comes in a variety of weights and because of its great design it defies what other slab serifs lack and actually has  italics.

Looks like we’re going to be out another $199.00.
