Index Book | Typo Latino – 30 types and many more fonts

Index Book | Typo Latino – 30 types and many more fonts from Index Book on Vimeo.

Typo Latino is a publication where we showcase the work of emerging typographers as well as established type designers from across the globe. What differentiates Typo Latino from other font books is that we feature typefaces, outline the process of constructing them and provide short explanations from the authors on the formal characteristics or applications of each typeface. We want to show the working process, the final result and the end uses where they exist. As a compilation of best works by Latin authors, this text serves as a tribute to and an emphasis on Latin character.

CEDVEL – DESIGN YOUR OWN GRID

Cedvel is an application for designing grid systems.

It is designed and developed by my dear former colleague Fahri Özkaramanlı. He is one of the most inspiring young designers in Istanbul who is specialized on screen ergonomics and typography. His previous project wordmark.it was also designed to help with this font selection process by quickly displaying previews of any text with the fonts installed
on your computer.

His methodological approach to interface design becomes quite exceptional when combined with his personal sharing and information generous personality.

Please  free to contact him on regarding any question or permissions regarding both two projects.

Mark your calendars for Cooper-Hewitt’s largest education initiative! National Design Week aims to draw national attention to the ways in which design enriches everyday life.

Launched in 2006, National Design Week is held each year in conjunction with the National Design Awards program. During National Design Week, Cooper-Hewitt’s award-winning Education Department hosts a series of free public programs based on the vision and work of the National Design Awards honorees. National Design Week culminates with the National Design Awards gala ceremony.

In recognition of the importance of design education, organizations and institutions across the country sponsor design events throughout the month.
