(not marilyn) monroe
I've been having an affair with a new font named Monroe. Sudtipos characterizes Monroe as fashionable and rocker - and I'd have to agree. What's not to love?



type catalogue: aphrodite slim

Aphrodite Slim from MyFonts is the best-selling font right now (according to their website and an e-mail I just received from them). Doesn't surprise me much, it's wonderful. Hardly ever do I get a chance to use script style typography in my day to day work...but this would definitely be a contender.
lowercase alphabet

An original design, laser cut on birch plywood from bookhou. I'm thinking this would look awesome in my office someday. The $50 price tag is very reasonable for such a unique piece. Lowercase letters, just how I like them. I'm guessing you could also paint these if you needed a pop of color, but it also looks fantastic as it is. Sometimes less is more.
type catalogue: typedia

Typedia is a mix between wikipedia and IMDb - for typography. I found the blog article "Behind the Typedia Logo Design" to be very interesting and loved getting a little glimpse into John Langdon's design process. Via suffix.abuse
type catalogue: hannah
Hannah is a playful and functional font available through You Work for Them - a steal for $35. Who is the talented designer responsible for this? Travis Stearn - head on over to his portfolio for more of his wonderful and interesting work.
typography meets home decor
Remarkable pillow designs from Bonjour Mon Coussin inspired by vintage postcards and other old documents. Best of all? You can buy the complete set (pillow and cover) or buy just the covers and they work perfectly with IKEA standard size pillows. They have all types of styles ranging from japanese-style illustration to pin-up girls.
