fontastic
If you told me earlier that in the span of a single week I would come across both MUNI and Def Leppard fonts I would have called you a tease, a charlatan, even accused you of a charm offensive. But this week I would have also dined on crow, as both a winter’s Seattle sun and these typographic lights have shined down on me.
Behold:
Some other great stuff I’ve run across recently:
