Highway Typeface

HIGHWAY is an attempt to capture the charm of hand-done early to mid-century type, the kind of beautiful lettering that happens when a human hand tries to recreate something mechanical. Created during (and inspired by) a cross-country roadtrip, Highway may very well be the first typeface created in the back of a camper. Tons of alternate characters, ligatures, and OpenType sorcery make for endless custom lettering for logos, signage, and seminal prog-rock double albums. Roll on, Babes.

The Manual

I worked on some illustrated type for The Manual inspired by old speedball/how-to lettering books. It’s a manual for how to write The Manual. See what I did there? Get the shirt over at United Pixelworkers.

Video Inspiration #68

Video Inspiration is a weekly(ish) post where we either feature a specific artist or show a sort of “best of” list of videos we’ve discovered during the week. Everything here may not be brand new, but we felt it worth sharing with the community. If you have good finds that you’d like to share, please feel free to send your links to nathan@abduzeedo.com with “video inspiration” in the subject line.

This week I’m featuring some really cool videos from around the web. We’ve got a bit of animation, motion graphics, stop motion, short film, and a music video in the mix today.

BONUS! Check out how far we’ve come!
