Pretty typeface animated!! Wouldn’t it be awesome if typefoundries started to release animated typefaces??

I randomly ran into this today. Was unaware but one of my favorites, the awesome folks over at The International Office, in Wellington, NZ, have updated their site with some new goodies. Had the pleasure of meeting these folks while conducting the Friendship Chronicles (which I need to finish, do not remind me), and have to say, they were amazing folks and also amazing talents. Will always remember this.

Have a look see as time permits at some truly amazing work. I do not even know how to put their work. Neo-modernism with a bit of personality? It’s so clean yet I feel like I could tell it was done by them. Regardless. Enjoy.

While doing some random searches in our database, it has come to my attention that we’ve never done a post on Sulki & Min. During my brief time here in Korea, and the chance moments I’ve seen them, interacted with them, or seen something they’ve created, I’ve only walked away thinking the more they are quite amazing. I am only starting to now become adjusted to the design scene here and having now met quite a few designers and design studios, I have to say, this studio consistently stands out to me.

I think there is an unspoken deliberateness to their work. I am not sure if confidence is the right word but I cannot think of another one at this moment. Perhaps conviction? Perhaps mettle? Either way, I think their work is both convincing conceptually and formally. Having picked up a few of their books here, I can only say too, that their attention to typography both in English and Hangul, is quite amazing. And the exchange between the two, is quite rewarding, something I see very little of here so far.

All in all, have a look see. Great.

This blew my mind… A completely open platform for free form creation, the purest sense.

According to the creator:
TypoFlat is a personal & experimental project of designer Branislav S. Cirkovic / www.b-cirk.com. Wow… you are still reading… The idea is to have this free flow of creation where no clients or money are involved, just a pure passion for creation and form experimentation. Not every character, image or vector is perfect so please feel free to take full liberty and adjust it so it fits your needs, experiment and never forget to enjoy the process!

You can freely download the existing assets from the site, in order to participate in and continue the flow of the project, without any restrictions. Nice.
