Inspired By #98
Here’s what's been inspiring me lately:
Fort Foundry
How have I not heard of this font foundry before? I spent a lot of time browsing and testing their fonts last week. Some of them are included in your Adobe Fonts subscription, how nice! And I love their type specimens too, here are some of my favorites:
Clark Orr
Amazing work by this designer/illustrator from Orlando, Florida. And he’s also a font designer, see Shuttleblock and Lowdrag mentioned above.
Jonathan Ball
Another designer I found via the Fort Foundry site. Jonathan does custom lettering, illustration, and typographic design.
Thom Niessink
Staying in the lettering category, check this nice print made by Dutch graphic designer Thom Niessink. And checkout out more of his process on his website.
Wimp Decaf
Talking about coffee, take a look at Wimp Decaf, a new decaf-only coffee brand. Their copy writing is really great, love it.
Wimp Decaf Coffee Company
Welcome to Wimp, a very chill revolution. No pitchforks or storming the castle — just decaf, the underdog of coffee, coming to play with the big kids.
Very Cool Studio
Very Cool is a digital type foundry run by Kyle Benson in Oakland, California.
Mighty Midwest Design Co.
Cam O'Brien is a Midwest Based Illustrator & Designer.
Hat Creek Burger Co.
“Taking inspiration from mid-century cookbooks and children's books a classic, playful illustration style gives the brand a nostalgic, yet timeless appeal for both parents and kids.”
Made by Guerilla Suit, a creative agency in Austin, Texas.
Mike Tabie
Those Hat Creek illustration above were made by Mike Tabie, who works at Guerilla Suit. I just love his style, great combination of design and illustration and Americana.
Studio MPLS
“We specialize in brand identity, packaging design and illustration with an artful, elevated approach.” Very impressed by the work and how it’s presented by this Minneapolis based design firm.
