MAKING FONTS WHILE CHECKING YOUR EMAIL

While traditional type-designers have been using programs such as FontLab or Fontographer (goes way back to 1985) to design their typefaces over recent years, FontShop has released a clever web-based font building tool geared towards the non-classical/casual type-designer called FontStruct (devised and developed for FontShop FSI by Rob Meek) .

FontStruct lets you quickly and easily create fonts constructed out of geometrical shapes, which are arranged in a grid pattern, like tiles or bricks. You create ‘FontStructions’ using the ‘FontStructor’ font editor. Once you’re done building, FontStruct generates high-quality TrueType fonts, ready to use in any Mac or Windows application. It’s worth taking a peek at their intro video.

ETIQUETA NEGRA IN NYC

Etiqueta Negra is a new Argentinian brand opened its first North American store around the corner from our office in Soho, NYC. High quality clothing with a Latin touch. Beautiful store, amazingly crafted clothes. They are like the Latin Ralph Lauren, at prices a little bit higher than a Banana Republic. The store’s vibe transports you to a classic luxury Polo Club in Argentina.

Although, this video is from January, it’s completely AMAZING.

THE PEDESTRIAN PROJECT

The Pedestrian Project consists of several performers wearing entirely black custom-made costumes modeled after the generic images of men, women, and children seen on public signs. Mimicking the lives of everyday people, the roaming sculptural forms inspire the imaginations of onlookers, who often find themselves mesmerized as these familiar icons assume busy lives of their own.

BRIAN GOGGIN DOES SAN FRAN (DEFENESTRATION)

Called “Defenestration” (a word literally meaning “to throw out of a window”), this installation by Brian Goggin was created with the help of over 100 volunteers at the corner of Sixth and Howard Streets in San Francisco, in an abandoned four-story tenement building. Reflecting the harsh experience of many members of the community, the furniture is also of the streets, cast-off and unappreciated.

“I wanted to get art out of the gallery and out of the museum,” said, Brian Goggin. “I’m interested in working with absurdity in ways that are compelling and entertaining.“
