Ben Eine Mural

Following so many 'arty' people on twitter ensures that I have a mighty fine twitter stream. Yesterday I caught this beauty by @LeanneBuchan of Ben Eine's typographic mural at the London Graphic Centre in Covent Garden. Featured on the Londonist, this Oranges and Lemons nursery rhyme inspired mural was commissioned by Art Republic Gallery and can be seen for the next six weeks - not long enough imho! Big thanks to Leanne Buchan for sharing.

Eloquent Pro: Regular & Italic

I've just treated myself to both cuts of Eloquent Pro font today. No reason 'just because'. Font designer Jason Walcott has perfected his swashes, alternates and ligatures by updating this beautiful 1960's inspired font. For any typo freaks out there you can buy Eloquent Pro Regular & Eloquent Pro Italic online from Veer at £99 (plus vat). Wish I could afford more 'just because' days!

Paper & Love Typeface

Chris Berthe's Paper & Love Typeface is so inspiring it makes me want to get out the scalpel, some paper and start crafting right now!.  Based on origami folds and an octagonal grid, Chris created these lovely 3D paper engineered letters after first designing a two-dimensional typeface. Superb!

877 - Typo Bracelets

I'm seriously coveting German designers Sylvia and Daniel Janssen's hand stamped type bracelets. Character charms are set in 925 sterling silver which beautifully contrasts with the soft suede leather bracelet. Trading as 877 - after the Pantone colour reference for silver, these designers wanted to link their print work with their jewellery. Available to purchase online from their etsy shop. Want!
