Some goodness related to type: Misprinted type has some great grunge fonts


 


http://misprintedtype.com/v3


 


Chank's Free Fonts has some good ones too

And lastly, I just thought this article was interesting. It talks about common typographic mistakes that everyone makes and how to overcome them

I found this really cool video and while this particular piece isn't related to text, a lot of the stuff this guys does is. All the rage in the art world right now has to do with infusing art with technology, a randomizing of order through algorithms and things of the like. The speakers/exhibitionists at the design symposium '08, spoke of similiar things.

Make your own fonts Seemed nifty. And it's free.


Also, crap's video reminded of Justice's DVNO video.

Nope, was never really interested in Justice, I just watched the DVNO because someone was talking about the creator of the video. Pretty schwoo either way.

Interesting, although my English classes never taught me to insert 2 spaces rather than a single one. Granted, that was probably the last thing all of my professors were interested in (I somehow managed to get all the hippie ones ).
