Eames Century Modern catalog
‘A look at printing the of House Industries’ Eames Century Modern catalog.’
Eames fonts
‘Charles and Ray Eames did not design a typeface. They did, however, leave a philoshophical template for a font collection worthy of their name.’
House Industries has created Eames Century Modern – a rethinking of the original Century types – with a midcentury modern update. Details here.
Fonts from the World of Tomorrow!
The mid-century stylings of Charles and Ray Eames were a major influence on my Martini at Joe’s fonts. Snag em here.
Alphabet Truck by Tabuchi
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.
