Type design is one thing. It’s his type illustration in that poster that I admire.

Vignelli and type design don’t mix.

Oh, I want them all. Great work by the designers and I found the reviews to be interesting and insightful.

Rumba makes me smile. Odile also looks like a fun font to work with.

Thanks, Eben. I figured we needed some color for the opening graphic and it was the first idea that came to mind. I am certainly mid-mod obsessed. Most of the credit goes to Berlow, though. It's his Titling Gothic.

Where did the ’2006′ treatment come from? It feels very mid century modern – and in a good way.

On Joe Clark’s negative comments about Mayberry.

It seems that Steve Matteson was involved also in the development of Arial and of Segoe, fonts which have come in for a similar kind of criticism. I don’t know what to make of all this, but it makes me wonder what is going on.

Woohoo, ‘THE List’ (and Typographica itself, of course) is back. ;) My favourites out of these: ‘Rumba’ + ‘Young Finesse’.
