My favorite Alphabets

Ufunk has a couple of posts of different designed alphabets. These three look particularly interesting to me.

Type Cycle:
A tribute to the bicycle. By Marcel Piekarski.

The Sculpted Alphabet:
Very pop culture. By Studio Forial.

Antropoamorfico Alphabet:
Very organic and vintage. By Yes I Do Concept.

Font Men

Jonathan Hoefler or Tobias Frere-Jones, the Font Men. They "sell typefaces". They create them, they design them. Can I even go that far to say they make the brand?

Aerial Bold

Nice Kickstarter project. Aerial bold, a typeface of the earth.

Aerial Bold is the first map and typeface of the earth. The project is literally about "reading" the earth for letterforms, or alphabet shapes, "written" into the topology of buildings, roads, rivers, trees, and lakes. To do this, we will traverse the entire planet's worth of satellite imagery and develop the tools and methods necessary to map these features hiding in plain sight.
