Who are the world’s alpha males, the manliest males? Depending on your definition of “manly”, you might say Daniel Craig. Or you might go for Chuck Norris. I’d go for both, but that’s just me. Now if you want to know all about the world’s alpha males – perhaps from a point of view different [...]

So you like superheroes? Who doesn’t, these days? How about typography? Now we might have fewer takers for this. Truth be told, I am not much of a font person, and while I do understand that there is beauty in fonts, I honestly sometimes couldn’t care less. I even think that the passion for, or [...]

Have you taken a look at what’s on your walls lately? Do you still have that faded poster of your teenage idol? Or maybe your walls are bare, practically begging you to put something up. Anything.

Dyslexia is a condition that everyone knows about, but perhaps may not truly understand. Not having any personal with it, I probably do not know just how difficult having the condition, but I can just imagine! Dyslexia has been studied intensively, and programs have been tried and tested to help dyslexics deal with their situation. [...]

So what’s your favorite font? Sue me, but I am a Comic Sans lover. I still remember using this font as the default for my work e-mail back in the day. Needless to say, I got a lot of flak for that. I have since then graduated to Helvetica, but only because that is the [...]

DeviantArt user etrav689 took Vader’s many quotes — even some by Anakin Skywalker — and crafted this tribute to the Sith Lord, made entirely out of typography. What do you think of the finished [...]
Most Creative Use of iPad Ever

I am completely mesmerized by this. Steve Jobs take note: this might be the most ingenious use of an iPad yet. A group of filmmakers made this nifty little film to explore three-dimensional typography. They use a proprietary program to show shapes on the iPad’s screen, and then drag those screens through a space that’s [...]
