Spring Street
I guess I'm still in New York mode... I'm enamored by this custom typeface designed to look like tiled letters, which I'm sure is a reference to the tiled lettering all over the New York Subway system. The typeface was designed for the Spring Street Union by Ravi Hampole and Rebecca Alden. Nice website, too. [via The Serif]|DBK
Found Typography | NYC
New York City is a haven for all sorts of signs and beautiful specimens of typography in unexpected corners. I discovered interesting typography everywhere I went, from SoHo to Brooklyn to Times Square. I've posted a few of my favorites here, but you can see more NYC typography photos in my Found Typography album. There you can also check out photos I've taken during my travels in Spain, Italy and India over the past few years. |DBK
375 West Broadway
Yes, I was in New York City this weekend, and all I can blog about right now is Anthropologie. Don't worry, I'll get my NYC photos up this week! But for now, how gorgeous are these Egg Cream Number Hooks? From the top:Egg Cream Number Hooks, Monogrammed Mugs, and Kilroy Canister. |DBK
I < 3 New York
In honor of my long anticipated long weekend in the Big Apple, here are some gorgeous photos from the New York City Flickr pool. Have a great long weekend! |DBK
Kern This
Ok, I literally shrieked when I saw this in the March/April 08 (I'm a little behind on my magazine reading) Stepmagazine. I have to have this shirt. Way to go DRDC, I'm such a fan. I've got your Hold Steady poster up in my living room right now. |DBK
Bathroom Reading
so+ba, a swiss style design studio based in Tokyo created this mechanism for telling the familiar story of The Emperor's New Clothes for an installation at the Aichi World Exhibition. I'm impressed at how every surface of the vehicle was used for telling the story, from the wrapper to each individual sheet of two-ply. |DBK
My Milkshake
Some really great skateboard designs with a vintage advertising feel. [via Nice Fucking Graphics] |DBK
On Maps and Type
I came across this beautiful hand-drawn map on Ffffound.com today—it shows the growth and comparison of real estate markets in particular regions of Thailand and Germany. Fiodor Sumkin, an editorial illustrator based in Amsterdam, was commissioned to illustrate this map for the Aeroflot in-flight magazine. Along with his editorial work, he has an awesome collection of personal work in his online portfolio. |DBK
Take me to the Dark Side
Oh, blind emboss, how I love you. Incredibly elegant, modern and beautiful, these business cards were designed for photographer Todd Tankersley as a part of his identity system. They were designed by Character, a San Francisco based agency, who has created materials for Nike, Levi's, Kohler and Pottery Barn, to name a few. [via The Serif] |DBK

Drawings and Other Objects
UK based designer and illustrator James Joyce is all over the map these days. He's been commissioned to do work for the likes of Nike, Kiehl's, and Penguin Books. His first solo gallery exhibition, Drawings and Other Objects, opened last week at London's Kemistry Gallery. Featured here from top to bottom: Positive Light, Oh Me Oh My, and a commissioned piece from Howies. Any idea how much would a round trip ticket to London costs? Anyone? [via It's Nice That] |DBK
