I’ve been a long time fan of Seb Lester‘s gorgeous lettering. Here are a few of my favorites from him. I especially love the Van Gogh stars print; how genius is he to make the lettering out of stars! And of course I adore the Home Sweet Home print (since I have one and it’s hanging in my bedroom.) View all of his work here.

Seems like all my recent blog finds are typography related, but i can’t help it, there’s some pretty awesome type work being done right now! This post is about The Phraseology Project, a site that lets you submit a letter, word or phrase and they’ll make it look beautiful with type.

Carolyn Sewell is a fabulous DC designer and illustrator. She has a two great series of postcards with hand drawn type; one set for her parents and one for her peeps. I’d feel so honored to receive one of her cards in the mail…hint hint. Here are some of my favorites:

fonts in use

Fonts in use is a great design resource that pretty much does exactly what the title says; it reveals the typefaces that are used in a variety of real world layouts.
