TypeConのために制作されたType Sketcherのプレビュー版。私とScout Books/Pinball Publishingのオースティン・ウィップルとのコラボレーションから生まれたこの本は、文字をデザインするためのグリッドが記された3冊組の書体デザイン用のスケッチブックである。また内表紙には正式な文字の描き方（オーバーシュート、アセンダの比率、書体の部位名称など）や私が個人的に素晴らしいと感じた書体デザインのサンプルの図解付き随筆が記されている。

3冊組で12ドルとお手頃な価格で、身近な書体マニアには最高のプレゼントになること間違いなし。お求めはこちらからどうぞ。

Konexi!!!

Konexi was published by the nice folks at Zimzala Games.

Finally, the latest installment of the Poster Initiative series of posters is out now. They’ll be distributed around Tokyo later this week.

The House Industries lecture at Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi was a smash success!

Over 120 folks came down to check out the lecture, eat some food, and sip some drinks while checking out a stellar presentation by Andy Cruz.

Giant thanks to my co-organizer Julia Barnes of Artalking/Nonaca, Andy and Steph Cruz, our amazing sponsors: Entropy Design and IDEA Magazine, all who pitched in to help out, and everyone who attended!

It was a great first event and we are looking forward to presenting more design-oriented events in the near future!

Got a nice mention on the Swatch/MTV Playground blog this week.

One of those career benchmarks just happened- I purchased the new album by the Nick Cave project Grinderman online, and look at that fancy cover that I ignored: the type is none other than Wordshape’s own Devil’s Advocate typeface.

Crimethincから出版されている『A Guide To Picking Locks Volume One』のカバーデザイン。

Another fine type-in-use showing: this one a poster for a show by Daniel Higgs by David D’Andrea. Designed using Cooper Italic Swash

Renna Okubo has put together a fancy exhibition of published artworks called Printed & Bound on display now at Gallery/Wako in Hatsudai. She went and whipped up a fancy identity for the show using Cooper Italic Swash, as well. Thanks, Renna!

It’s a bit less than a week until the House Industries lecture event here in Tokyo. I would like to welcome Entropy Design and Idea Magazine as sponsors.

Giant thank you(!!!)s to the Cannons and to Muroga-san at Idea Magazine for sponsoring the event!
