This is a really neat instance of 'found' type, I guess - kind of like an assignment we had in the class I started this blog for, but then misinterpreted...

This is very cool.

Lucy In The Sky With Indonesian Diamonds

Another cool typography find: 'cut out' letters on top of a map of Indonesia, of which they are discussing in the words...

The Weight of the world is on your shoulders

Neat example of typographic hierarchy, I think. Although, I think it is kind of confusing what the hierarchy is supposed to be here... I would think '14 FROM THE AMERICAS' should be larger than '8 AFRICANS' as 14 is obviously a larger number than 8. They easily could have adjusted the text to start a little more to the left.

God Save the Queen if she dares to use comic sans

This is great. I'm not really sure what else to say. This website has a lot of cool graphics with this fun vintage feel to them. I love things designed like this.

All the graphics use the same three colors, too - black, red, and on the creme-ish kind of color.

Brown Eyed Girl from paris visits brussels

This is a very cool use of typography within photography. Not sure how they did this, but I would assume something like cutting out certain parts of the photo and then putting the type on a layer behind it or something... I may have to experiment with this.

In Brussels, I would like to see more of the letters. Otherwise, I like the set up of this one more than that of Paris. I feel like the type should be larger in that one. Extend all the way to the top edge of the photo. However, sometimes less is more, I suppose.

Sincerely, I really like Myriad Pro

I love this because I love Myriad Pro. I used it on at least one design project last spring semester, possibly two. I wish Myriad Pro was a web-safe font. But I have to say, I prefer the thin or light version of this type face best. It looks really sleek, but probably isn't very good for readability at very small sizes. Not sure. I used it for a website design in both Illustrator and InDesign. On one of them I think it may have been size 9 or 8.

The Joker is the only one who loves comic sans

Chasm of sar by *Sam-Wells on deviantART

I've been finding some random and amusing typography graphics like this lately. This one I find deeply amusing. I loved comic sans when I was younger (I may have mentioned this before). I used to use it for everything possible. And only recently, as I started studying typography, did I discover how absolutely disgusted designers are by this type face.

I find it very interesting.

No, there is nothing classy about comic sans. But then again, helvetica isn't anything special, either, now is it?
