I found Anatoly Zenkov while checking out a different sub-series of his, posted on Gizmodo . But, I’m always drawn to creative typography more than almost anything else!

It has x-height of 3 pixels, it is italic, inspired by old masters and most important – made by hand. You must not look too closely, because colors get visible. It’s work in progress.
Fascinating !

I know I one of the last to jump on this trend, but may I present my new fondness for Keep Calm Ltd . I actually wasn’t a huge fan of the originals (”Keep Calm and Carry On”), but that started to change when I saw the “Oh Deer” and Jack and I loved “Tea Revives You” for the kitchen. I simply adore the ones above, especially “Every Cloud has a Silver Lining!”
