Tee Franklin - Vogue UK commissioned it but never used it in the end… Pretty nice too. At $19 a weight a bargain too.

Man&Machine has arrived. This free, independently published zine, is an observation of the diversity present in a community surrounding a common artefact. The artefact in focus this issue is the Track Bike.
Details on where you can get hold of a copy will be made available shortly.
I received one of these in the post yesterday (which was mighty fast considering it came from Australia).
It’s pretty RAD.
I always enjoy Futura and I really like Archer too. Win!
★ “Super 8” trailer feat. Neutraface
J.J. Abrams has got together with Spielberg for a new film. Cloverfield sucks so who knows what this will be like?
Anyway trailer is kinda badass, especially the use of Neutraface for the titles.

…a great deal of time was spent trying to create a harmony between line and curve in an attempt to show that you can be crisp, clean and legible and still keep some personality. The Light and Fat weights (regular and italic) are my favorites and I hope to see them as the workhorses of the typeface.
Shock discovery!
The typeface used in train stations is not Helvetica, I was fooled. It’s called Rail Alphabet and was done by Jock Kinneir and Margaret Calvert who did Transport (which is brill BTW).
Rail Alphabet is similar, but not identical, to a bold weight of Helvetica (and, not quite as similar, Akzidenz Grotesk or Arial). Akzidenz Grotesk had earlier also provided the same designers the broad inspiration for the Transport typeface used for all road signs in the United Kingdom.
Went to see “Up in the Air” last night.
It was brilliant. I enjoyed the type and aerial shots especially.
The storyline was great too.
Giorgio Sans by Christian Schwartz.
One of the picks of the year on iLT.
