A Month (or so) in Type Pictures

As usual our Instagram feed has featured a wide variety of type, lettering and calligraphy, exploring the various trends and historical material that may be inspirational. Here’s a short round-up:

Picture Credits (rows, top down):

• Wonderful M by @lineletters spotted on @typographher’s newsletter. Part of a #lettering case study from @martinaflor’s excellent @skillshare class. 

• Gorgeous monoweight lettering in holographic foil by @joannabehar 

• Engraving in Stanley Morison’s book reviewing typefaces by Reynolds Stone. Thanks to @strongarmpress for showing it. 

• Inspired by the quality & breadth of work in @typism book 2016. This by @jonbensondesigns 

• Ultra bold poster type from 1932, spotted in the South of France.

• Ever feel you you’re being watched? Decorated #lettering from The Modern Signwriter 1954 (uncredited)

• And finally, I’m excited to announce that I’ve been granted permission to reproduce Reynolds Stone’s #calligraphy & #engravings for a blog post. RS (1909-1979) is among the giants of British visual heritage though many may not have heard of him. More to follow. 

You’ll find more detailed articles right here on the blog but if you’d also like up-to-the-minute type & lettering inspiration follow our updates on Instagram.
