Onslaught of news here… I should be in bed, as the new semester at Temple University starts at 8AM, but I’d rather procrastinate…

Hot off the presses, the Type Sketcher! A collaboration between myself and Austin Whipple at Scout Books/Pinball Publishing, it’s a trio of type design sketchbooks with modular grids for designing letterforms.

The inside covers feature illustrated essays showing users how to properly draw letters (overshoot, ascender ratios, type anatomy), as well as showing samples of type design that I find particularly intriguing).

At $12 a pop, they’re cheap, as well. The perfect gift for the type nerd closest to you.
