Tatsuro Horikawa’s goth-punk label Julius is in a league of it’s own. Some may link his creations to the likes of Jun Takahashi, but Horikawa crafts a unique style of his own. Just because it’s black doesn’t mean it’s whack. Enjoy.

Some very intriguing typographic work from Zetuei aka Yoshiyuki Kano. I wish I could read his site or even understand his typefaces! They probably all say “HAPPY NEW YEAR!” Everyone, thank you all for a wonderful 2009. We wish you the best and hope for your continued love in 2010!

Fumio Tachibana is a former Tokyo TDC winner who wonderfully crafts typographic beauty from scraps, scraps, scraps. Read his excitement and passion for the typographic form here:
My room is covered with piles of old newspapers. I had not realized how many of them had accumulated; it is now a melee of thousands of newspaper headlines gathered from countries far and near where those newspapers were read and then thrown away. I pick up fragments of text and transform them into new characters. Sometimes these new characters are used to make up the title of a poem. As usual, today I am buried in this dream island of old newspapers and I rummage through them randomly looking for bits I might use. Whenever I see something I like, I just rip it out and paste it along with others to create new characters. There I have another one finished; “Appreciation, Emotion, Rain, Hail.”
