Inspiration: Fontplore

One of the most impressive student projects, I have ever seen. Fontplore is an interactive application designed for searching and exploring font databases. Fontplore helps you to easily find the right typeface for your project in a collection of several thousands of fonts. It lets you browse, preview, compare and print the fonts you are interested in. And the clou is: It does all that on an interactive table, using tangible objects to navigate and control actions, so the workflow is easy to understand.

Viewing: CargoCollective

We understand how busy people are these days, and time is precious. As you may well know, we are currently working on a brand new site to make these matters, a thing of the past.

However, if you are in a rush before this, it may well be worth taking a look at our Cargo Collective account. It’s probably the most simple and easy to use tool to find exactly what you are looking for.

A lot is going on at HypeForType at the moment. We’re working on a brand new website, a selection of fresh type idents, and currently sourcing and scouting some of the hottest new typefaces.

As you can clearly see, the new blog has been launched prior to all of these developments, and with this we’re delighted to announce our first Special Guest Editor. Introducing a studio that has not only inspired thousands of graphic designers, but also set the bench mark for prolific and beautifully executed typography within graphic design.

We’re delighted to welcome the legendary Research Studios on board.
