C13-HEX

I love gifts. Lucian from C13 just sent me this awesome gift. Just wanted to say "thank you" to the guys at Cypher 13 for sending this. I've always enjoyed their work and their recent experiments with type design and C13-HEX is one of their latest. Extra geometric in nature and intended predominantly for display and logotype utilities, C13 HEX was built atop an isometric triangular grid. Font soon to be released, so if you like what you see, keep an eye out for it.

Badona - New Typeface

Oguzhan Ocalan from graviart, a studio focusing on logo design + typography recently launched a fresh new typeface, Badona. It's an opentype custom face available in two weights, Regular and Light. Badona is applicable for both web and print environments. It's ideal for magazines, brochures, posters, and flyers among other mediums. Badona is also perfect for logos. It comes in 232 glyphs and supports Turkish and West European languages. Aesthetically, this typeface is elegant and offers a unique feel in application. After four months of hard work, Oguzhan is proud to release this to the public, and it's currently available at HypeForType and MyFonts type foundries. Head over there and support him!

Beyond the Landfill

Pretty crazy illustrations by this California-based artist, Cheeming Boey. Choosing an alternative medium to express his art, Boey draws his black and white designs on polystyrene cups. It's always great to see such a mundane medium used in a creative way. Hey! At least they are not ending up in a landfill. Perhaps too much time spent on coffee shops? Whatever the case may be, it's creative time well spent. All designs are one of a kind, and no two are alike. You may check him out on his Flickr or buy his art on Etsy.

Bertelli - Biciclette Assemblate

Beautiful hand-assembled, fixed gear and track bikes created from new, old stock and vintage parts, resulting in a bike that you probably won't find anywhere else. At Bertelli, every bike is a unique design. Working out of NYC, Francesco's craftsmanship speaks for itself when it comes to building pure, clean, "old-fashioned" track bikes. Take a look at some of the bikes he's built, they're lovely.

Friends of Type

I can't believe I just found out about this typography blog. Friends of Type is a sketchbook, an archive and a dialogue of typography. Submitted artwork may be digitized, hand-drawn/sketched, set, printed, and/or animated. It's a source of inspiration for type & design geeks. You should check it out.

Everything

Just had a quick browse through this porfolio containing a lot of bright, bold, clean, simple, and helvetified pieces by Studio Everything, working out of New Zealand. Gotta love those printed pieces.
