Thinking Fonts: Creative Expression and Inspiration

Fonts are sometimes default (like here on this blog), but in the best book design, they are highly considered... sometimes, they're art in-and-of-themselves.

Check out the blog, I Love Typography, for lots of visual and design inspiration for your current project.

I thought this movable/adjustable version of the font WIND was really cool (and not just because that's my last name!)

And if that gif isn't working, here's the letter W at various angles:


variations of W in the WIND font

And sometimes, the fonts you think are coolest turn out to be hand-lettered by the designer or illustrator! It's fascinating to really look at something that is so easy to overlook.

Illustrate and Write On,
