• Finally, The Big Yellow FontBook

  After what feels like years of yearning, I had a major shopping attack and decided to buy my very own FontBook.
  I’m elated.

  With this reference, I hope finding that perfect typeface to fit the project will be much faster than browsing through pages on the web. And, for awhile, I’ve been keeping a myFaveType folder with [...]

  The typeface is Musee by Dino dos Santos [...]

  There’s no long term connection here. It just happens I’m writing a blog post about flowers and I bought a botanical ornament font designed by Brazilian designer Gustavo Lassala (I wish I knew Portugese…) called Flozo.

• I love this typeface: FF Meta Serif

  There is a lot I miss about being on staff at a magazine and one of them happens to be using great typefaces.
  Use of type is my other primary obsession (fascination?) in addition to use of photography.
