the absence of letters

I have an internal letter-magnet and seem to be pulled in whichever direction has the most thoughtful type & characters. Earlier today Jana Kinsman tweeted a link to this beautiful compiled alphabet of non-letters. my alphabet lists only that these letters were found in Vienna. They're incredibly familiar but inspiring because they're the product of the subtraction of an element. I love it.

+ blind emboss

So in love with the blind letterpress & embossing on this delightful promotional poster for HyperQuake's 10th Anniversary. Seriously beautiful and tasteful ornamentation.

So in love with this 1920's soap label spotted on flickr. Sometimes, research is the most fun.
