Gerrit Noordzij on Drawing

The incomparable Gerrit Noordzij visited TypeMedia last March 25, 2010 and talked about type and drawing.  The video is well worth the watch.

House Industries Releases Eames Century Modern

House Industries has released its Eames Century Modern collection.  Designed by Erik van Blokland the collection contains an amazing amount of mid-century type-love:

  • 26 Fonts
  • 18-Style text family with italics
  • 9 Figure Styles
  • Advanced Text Handling
  • 4 Numeral Fonts
  • 3 Frame Fonts
  • Smart Ornaments Font

My undying admiration and fascination with all things Eames is only heightened by this collection, and hope to have my order in time to get the limited packaging.

...has a great eye and is well read about all aspects of design. Due to this extensive knowledge and talent, his work shows a meticulous attention to detail...

Marko Masnjak
designer at JAK design
Stephen is a thoughtful, precise designer, flawless in his craftsmanship and expansive in his conceptual thinking. He's a well-read guy, with a surprising career history and love of learning. It all informs his work. Stephen is equally at home and gladly challenged by an assignment in type design as he is with corporate identity work, interactive, or poster design. He's a consummate talent, and an artful asset to any design initiative
