Our studio and our lives are in the city of Bangkok, known to the natives as Krung Thep (“city of angels”). Like most creative folks, we draw our inspiration and our passion in part from what we see around us every day, and so we thought it might be nice to take a break from serving up fonts in order to illustrate some of the most common (but understated) sightings in everyday life.

With Bangkok being such a massive and complex city, this idea could of course take years, or even a lifetime to fully explore. We chose to keep it simple, and in so doing, we took a quick look at seven different small happenings in Bangkok life. We looked at the delivery drivers, the elderly, the commuters, and the traditions of our city of angels. These are the quirkily sublime; the fantastically normal; the heavenly ordinary events that happen every day, and we salute and marvel and celebrate them all.

The seven pieces were shot on the consecutive days of the week, and each has only about 10 seconds to capture a moment on the streets, and tell it in type, with a few letters and one font. The clips are simple, focused and to the point. The musical scores were completed by our partners at Madsound with the same idea in mind, keeping things simple with only a single rhythmic element and a single wind instrument.

Each day, for the next seven days, we will post one of the videos on our blog, which will then automatically spread out to Facebook, Twitter and Vimeo for everyone.

uandlc-back-issues

This has been making the type world rounds lately, U&lc has started posted some free PDF downloads of old back issues. They are not the best scans (did they scan these during a Christmas office party?) but they are free, available in high resolution, and did we mention free? Grab em while they are hot, and enjoy the type insanity.

Hi-Res Downloads:

swiss-desktops

We are not sure why we never thought of doing this, but who cares now because our friend Network Osaka has done it. N.Osaka is a fellow admirer of swiss design (who isn’t though, really) and created these wallpapers for everyone to download. The wallpapers contain some of the most popular designs by the likes of Müller-Brockmann, Crowell, Armin Hoffmann and a few other design legends all formatted for modern screen resolutions. So get over there and download those goodies!

It has been awhile since we blogged a site, this kind of happens when you have 4000 fonts in your ‘new products to post’ que. But the crew from Numero 10 emailed us the other day to let us know about their new portfolio, and we must say it is amazingly nice. Be sure to check out the A4+++ Réclames Peintes project for a beautiful approach to hand painted sign-artwork with modern brands like Smirnoff and Nescafe.

Cumulus & Foam, the most beautifully grotesque font of our time. After many years of fine tuning and development, Stefan Kjartansson’s (designer of Black Slabbath) magnificent monster is now available for you to purchase. In honor of this very special occasion, all orders for the complete family will receive a copy of the book above for FREE! No additional shipping fees, it’s completely free! Read more…
