link IKEA says goodbye to Futura
Horrifying. Verdana's not an ugly enough typeface for the web (yeah, yeah, I know... I use it here and there, too. What are my options?) but now we have to look at it in print? Yuk. I expected better of the Swiss.

I love House Industries. And if these weren't so pricey they'd be wrapped up under the tree for my best friend - who's obsessed with ampersands. :)

link Special Characters Shortcuts
Fabulous PDF that covers how to access special characters on Mac, on PC, in HTML, and other tips on type. There are other options out there - I keep charmap on speed dial - but this is also pretty, and informative to boot.

I love, love, love this poster. So bummed it's sold out. Also totally digging on the Eboy prints especially London and New York. Happily, the latter two are NOT sold out yet.

Oh, how I want this gorgeous dinnerware! First, type - fab, natch. Second, I loooove the subliminal messages: use a napkin, don't slurp, clean your plate. Awesome.

Laser-cut mats for your home in sweet sweet type. I want "little black rug" more than words can say. Seriously.

link Our Favorite Typefaces of 2007
Gorgeous lineup. Burbank is just awesome, ditto Urbana. BistroScript is so retro and fabulous it makes me smile just to see it. if you like type (and hey, doesn't everyone?) head on over and check out the pretty pretty type.

link Helvetica is bad for your body
A great visual example of why Helvetica isn't the best option - at least, not the best first option, anyway.

link Type for your wall
Delicious and available in 50-odd colors, these type stickers are awesome. Me wanty.

link Fontifier - Your own handwriting on your computer!
This is so cool, and so inexpensive - a true type font from your own handwriting. But of course I don't want mine - I want my friend Stacey's. It's way better than mine.
