Font Aid V has arrived. Sadly every time there is a Font Aid event, this usually means that something fairly devastating has happened. In this case the catalyst for Font Aid V has been the recent and terrible events in Japan.
In times of a Font Aid appeal, The Society of Typographic Aficionados organizes charitable designers to contribute to a themed font. Previous Font Aids have included typefaces comprised entirely of ampersands and another consisting of only fleurons. The latest Font Aid, called Made For Japan, is a face consisting of glyphs representing their designers interpretations of Japan.

This is obviously great news and many people have commented on how unique and fascinating the final product will be.

I was very pleased when German typographer, Harald Geisler got in touch to tell me about his latest typographic venture, the Typographic Wall Calendar. But there’s a twist of course! It’s going to be constructed entirely from old computer keyboard keys – being that it’s for the year 2011, it will literally be made with 2 thousand and 11 individual keyboard keys! Each month, day and date will be documented in the work as shown in the image below.
The resulting entire years worth of layout will be photographed and then be purchasable as B0 wall sized prints!

Ok, so it’s a couple of evenings late, but… I have finally finished Grid Face typeface. More than this I have completed 2 weights of the font!
But what fun would it be if I was not to make you wander half way around the web to find it?
