I was looking for dog pictures the other day and wandered over to DaFont, my favorite free font website. Found the dogs I needed, and also found this: Freak Animals dingbat font. How fantastic are these? Wouldn’t they look great printed large and framed in a group?
Created by the apparently awesome Rodrigo German.
So not only is House Industries releasing a fantastic new font collection (the Eames Century Modern), but they will also be drawing three names to accompany them on an exclusive look into the inner sanctum of one of 20th century’s greatest design teams. The Eames House was built in 1949 as number 8 in the series of Case Study Houses and is still recognized as a revolutionary use of space and materials.
To toss your hat into the ring, fill out this form and enter EAMES HOUSE in the comments box.
And if you forget the first time (like I did) hopefully they’ll be understanding when you fill out the form twice (like I did).
This quiz from the mighty Pentagram has been cruising speedily around the interwebs, so if you’ve already done it, please share your type with us in the comments.
If you haven’t, turn your speakers on and go find out what type you are. Then come back and tell us. (Edited to add: password is Character)
I’m Van Doesburg. A creatively structural typeface designed by Theo Van Doesburg, an architect from the De Stijl era.
(Thanks Debbie!)
I love how plush and bursty this Valentype is from House Industries. The whole font looks just like that plump sumptuous heart. And it comes on 6×8 solid maple blocks. Yummy.
I’d like the whole red set please. It would look great in the LEAP office.
