Butter typography 4
At last year’s TypeCon, I picked up a nice, red Butter Label shirt. One of a series of fun products designed by Luke Dorny of award-winning Ligature Loop & Stem fame.
Pictured, development of his Butter Label logotype, which was first cast in rubber for a limited edition Moleskine offering.

Butter typography 1
Was recently discussing with a culinary instructor that it’d be interesting if some of her students took one of my type classes. Imagine what would happen to plated up food with type knowledge floating thru young cooks’ brains.
Then I saw Zeughaus’ butter letters, above.
Original type by Typejockeys, butter cut by Nadine Ruhm. Info here.
