What Type Says

Taxi tells you what subliminal message your font choices send.

NYC Nights Typography Tour

A type tour of New York City at night. Nice.

Las Rocas

Actually pretty good for a $13 bottle of wine that flaunts a Comic Sans label. I think Wine Spectator gave it an 89. Underdog noticed that the label for this wine on the winery’s website looks more like Gill Sans than Comic Sans. Weird.

Kyle Tezak’s personal Four Icon Challenge pushed him to distill stories into four elements (and three colors). Masterful.
