Since Sacramento is a hub for some of California’s major freeways (5, 80, 99), there’s a lot of local truck traffic.

And there’s always some interesting typography to go with them. Yellow is one of my favorites, because it’s not actually yellow. It’s orange.

I also enjoy the typography and colors of the Werner line.

And I do miss the iconic fruit covered Raley’s trucks – no longer seen around town. Artwork by the great Don Birrell of historical Vacaville Nut Tree fame.

On a related note, here’s images from Paris-based photographer Eric Tabuchi’s Alphabet Truck series (above) volume one and volume two.

Part 1 of 2

Tonight is the season finale of Project Runway 7. Go Seth Aaron go!

And here’s an interview with PW’s Tim Gunn from last week. He and Craig chat about rudeness in the fashion industry, circus clowns and why regular humans are cut differently than superthin models. Great conversation.

Picking fonts, not the easiest thing to do. But design student Julian Hansen has created a poster that kinda breaks it down into easy solutions.

Click the above image for a full size version.

Are there really easy solutions?

Swiss design uberguru Massimo Vignelli believes so. Here’s I Love Typography’s take on The Vignelli Twelve.
