Type Delight: The work of Stefan Kunz

It is always a delight to see Stefan Kunz's inspiring lettering work. Not only is the craftsmanship something to enjoy, but the content of his work is always uplifting and motivational. And yes, he really inspires us to pick up the pens and get back to the sketchbooks again to better our hand at lettering and drawing. Based in Zurich, Stefan's work ranges from motivational quotes and Bible verses, art murals, art prints, his sketchbooks and the occasional object also gets donned with his masterwork. He documents his work on his Instagram page, and you can also check out his website here.

Photography: Vintage American signage

Browsing through Instagram (an App for iPhone users to take photos and share them with the world) we discovered these wonderful photographs of mid-1900s, Googie-inspired signage by Bill Rose. Under the pseudo-name Recapturist, Bill documents these fantastic architectural monuments' combination of colour, typography and geometric and sometimes space-themed shapes to build up signage that, with the help of flashing lights, just popped out to lure in passing travellers. Sadly, many of these signs are falling into disrepair, but with the help of Recapturist, their existence and once-adored beauty will be preserved.

To see more of Bill's photographs or to purchase some of them as prints, go to Recapturist's website.

Typography: Photos by Christian Liljeberg

It is no secret that we adore Instagram, an App for iPhone users to take photos and share them with the world. We discovered Christian Liljeberg's photos on Instagram, a Swedish typography enthusiast who takes photographs with his iPhone of the most poetic instances of typography on signs, bicycles, pavements and fire hydrants to name but a few. 

His compositions are harmoniously crafted with the presence of colour and texture playing as important role as the type itself. The photos portray a sweet nostalgia, and documents the changes the weather and human involvement bring.

The great news is that you don't have to admire his photographs only on Instagram or on the Instagram web viewer called Statigram, but you can also get your own canvas prints of Liljeberg's photographs!
