A Spare Update — No. 4

I started writing this for last month’s Headline Heads Up and didn’t finish, but here it is now. Feeling bad, I decided to throw in an early Christmas present for those that celebrate. (I recently sorted out my RSS and got it loaded into Google Reader so now time just gets away from me as I continually have inspiring things to look at and resources to read and evaluate. I guess it’s time to work on some curatorial discretion and time management.) But here’s to getting back on track with a wrap up of awesome fonts and fun links to check out.
Desk
Foundry : UPPERTYPE
Designer(s) : Pedro Lobo
Cost: €10
Desk by UPPERTYPE makes the list this month because it’s a bold statement. It doesn’t try to be a lot of things; Desk is built for display purposes — end of discussion. It has uppercase, numerals, and punctuation. There isn’t a filled in variant, just the shadowed version shown. The narrowness leans slightly art deco but the curves and shadow update it a bit. Somehow I read both high fashion catalog and emo band nostalgia album cover.

With the way the holidays are soaking up all my time, I’m going to wrap up this month’s Wallpaper Wednesday and Headline Heads-Up into one big update post. But first, here’s some other cool things to go check out.
Portfolio Site for Sean Wes
Some great lettering and all around good type & design.
Print Free Graph Paper
Need a A4 sheet of 1/4″ isometric graph paper? Print one here along with normal boxed graph paper and other formats.
Portfolio Site for Anthony James Paglia
All around fun design and some nice type projects. (Plus I love the color.)
Icon Fonts are Awesome
A cool CSS trick with icon fonts.

I’m way behind this month’s normal posting schedule so I’m going to wrap up this month’s Wallpaper Wednesday and Headline Heads-Up into one big update post.
I’ve gotten behind because it is now September, and here in the southern United States that means college football. As a way of celebrating the start of the season, I put together some buttons honoring my alma mater — as well as our nemesis. They turned out to be more popular than I expected. Get your own over at the shop and keep me busy.
2011 — Off to a Bad Start

Well, I’m a month and half into the new year of 2011 and I’ve really fell behind. I think I’m going to slap a beta sticker on this thing, go public with it, and maybe that will force me to stay serious. There’s just so much styling and customizing that I need to keep working on to get things to the point I want them to be. Anyway, enough with the bitching — let’s get to some actual content!
I got my girlfriend some jewelry for Valentine’s Day and it came wrapped in a surprising bag that was pretty nice. The paper was cheap kraft and the printing was cheap and bled a lot but I’m pretty sure that’s the point to achieve the look. It has a lot of charm though and definitely fits their vintage brand.
