Max Phillips’ wonderful workhorse FF Spinoza is used beautifully for this designer’s personal web project about film effects from the past to present. Designed in a simple, accessible manner, the typeface performs superbly both as a textface and display.

The Hazlitt is an online magazine by Random House of Canada. The platform is to strengthen the company’s new digital strategy by featuring original content from established and emerging writers, digital storytelling and commentary.

The redesigned website—developed by Wayne Thayer and Art Director Michèle Champagne—makes use of a range of webfonts: Headlines are set in Aurèle Sack’s LL Brown mainly and in Larish Alte by Radim Peško. Further marginalia and embedded media player are set in Type Together’s Tablet Gothic. The website’s typographic palette is completed by the use of FF Franziska by Jakob Runge for the main reading text.

The Hazlitt logo appears to be based on Minion Condensed with a custom decorative ligature.

Grantland’s mini site feature about Boogie Nights as part of their Paul Thomas Anderson week is beautifully designed. The website is typeset in Harriet by Okay Type and Balto by Tal Leming (who also designed the logotype of Grantland), a pairing also seen in the Vox redesign.

The AIGA now has a beautiful little blog designed by Leta Sobierajski, completely typeset in Lineto’s LL Brown. The design details are quite beautiful and well considered — article display images alternate between circular, rectangular and triangular frames evoking the basic shape principles of the Bauhaus. From pull quotes to social media icons and tiny usability details, Eye on Design is a delight to experience.

Also, I love the Paul Rand reference in the logo.

New Eden is a book showcasing a selection of hand-picked computer game environments.

Each spread features a high-resolution in-game render of a different game environment, plus an iconographic key and a mini-map ‘HUD’ that denotes the genre and environment styles, such as ‘space’, ‘swords’, or ‘apocalyptic’.

Quotes from game designers are interspersed throughout, and the book is finished off with a wooden cover and lazer-etched design.

Designed and created by Christian Ernst, Alexander Venus & Robyn Soyka.

Printed Pages is a magazine by online publishing platform It’s Nice That, with “its own identity, connected to but distinct from It's Nice That”.

This issue (redesign) contains mostly multipage features on design, combining interviews with full-size visuals: sports photography, an interview with noteworthy designers and entrepreneurs, a short story.

For both headlines and running text the design uses combinations of Avenir (including two modified versions) and Tiempos. Navigational information such as page numbers is set in Aperçu Mono.

A history of the Icelandic character ð (eth) published by Crymogea. Toshi Omagari created this custom eth, which the book’s designer Gunnar Vilhjálmsson calls “the John Travolta eth”. The book also features what may be the first ‘fð’ ligature, designed by Fred Smeijers.

The typeface is Metro Nova, a revival by Omagari of Metro’s original forms, soon to be released by Monotype.
