Here at Soundscreen Design, we have a very strong fondness for Post Typography, the incredibly talented design studio based in Baltimore, Maryland. In addition to having the longest capabilities list known to man (see their site if you don’t believe us), Bruce and Nolen will be contributing to the Artist Music Journals series in the coming months.

If you live in New York City, we highly recommend you come to the NY release party for their newest book, Lettering & Type: Creating Letters and Designing Typefaces, at the Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography, at The Cooper Union, on Tuesday November 17th at 7:00. In typical Post Typography style, the concept of the release event itself is nothing short of brilliant. From Post Typography:

Fan Letter: 26 Artists and Designers Present Their Favorite Letter or Typographic Character

Twenty-six local, national, and internationally-based designers and artists give a two-minute ode to an alphabet letter or typographic character. These may range from multimedia presentations, performances, videos, stories, poems, animations, songs, stand-up comedy, rants, short plays, demonstrations, Gregorian chants, etc—however they choose to depict their letter.

Fan Letter is organized and emceed by Bruce Willen and Nolen Strals of Post Typography, authors of a new book from Princeton Architectural Press, Lettering & Type: Creating Letters and Designing Typefaces. This event is the launch party for the book, and also takes place in conjunction with Lubalin Now, the inaugural exhibition in the newly relocated Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography. The participants in Fan Letter include many designers whose work is featured in the exhibition as well as in Lettering & Type.
