FontShop released a mini website for the new and wonderful Meta Serif.

There, you can read the story of this new typeface, see how people already used this typeface, some examples how Meta Sans and Meta Serif work together and you can even download the Glyph poster composed from all 709 glyphs of FF Meta Serif Pro.

This year, the famous Lego minifigure will be 30 years old.
Three decades in the making, since 1978 and still
these toys are very popular today.

As I was saying, funkyou.ro is now back on track, with a full release of this platform

FunkYou stands for experiments and developing new ideas which I think is interesting, because not many designers publish experimental works, at least not in Romania...

The new website is now live and its got artists and studios features, interviews, a forum, job board and even a shop (with some help from Sunnyday)!
Looking good, looking fresh, designed by Stefan Lucut...

Hope this project will attract the attention of the Romanian design community, because there are some talented designers and artists in Romania that need to come out and show their work to the world.
And the idea of design workshops, plus Funkyou - the book featuring the best in experimental design are most welcome.

Good luck to the team behind Funkyou.ro. I hope this project will do just fine.
So now, funkyou too!

Check out the ICON WATCH. Koreans - those clever bastards! A classic "why didn't I think of that?!" situation.

Recently I've discovered the wonderful works of a very talented Romanian illustrator - Livia Coloji.

This is her selfportrait.

She has a very distinctive style of illustration, using acrylics for her paintings and Xara for digital illustrations, a style that is perfect for children books (she already illustrated a few), postcards, greeting cards and all things handmade.

Visit her portfolio and check on Livia's updates.

I have a Twitter account now.
Will be posting quick updates, links and other stuff I might me involved in or find to be interesting.

After FF Meta got a Serif version, now, with the 80th birthday of Adrian Frutiger, Linotype released a Serif version of Frutiger.

Based on an earlier typeface - Meridien - Frutiger Serif is a new typeface family, updated and expanded from Meridien and was produced by Adrian Frutiger and Akira Kobayashi.
Some of the changes include more weights in the family, a condensed version, lining and OSF, small caps, extra characters, some revised characters and more.
