How to spell the alphabet

26 year old Tauba Auerbach uses ink and pen to create witty and detailed letterforms and typographic posters. A recent graduate of Stanford University, Auerbach works as a sign painter in San Francisco, in a shop devoted to the traditional practice of hand lettering. Her simple yet complex illustrated posters deconstruct typography into their simple graphic elements, recognizable as letters, but lost as communication. Her elaborate calligraphic letterforms also maintain the complex scrolling flourishes of calligraphy, yet lose their connection to actual letters. Beautiful.

The type obsessed folks at Rockland, Maine’s “Three Island Press” have delved into the archives for a small, but special collection of “Old Fonts” for your Mac or PC. Want to write like Emily Austin or Mirabeau B Lamar from the 1830’s? Maybe you need to recreate out an ol’ timey letter or broadside. The fonts at oldsfonts.com come in two flavors: written, and printed. And they all look old. Really old.

“Spell With Flickr” is a clever flickr hack. Similar to Amaztype, it’s a program which aggregates flickr images matching the text entered into its search engine. I suppose it might come in handy if you have a need for this kind of typographic effect. Other than that, it’s fun to play.
