A beautiful letterpressed Typographic World Map by Chicago-based designer Nancy McCabe (aka designahoy). Unfortunately they were sold out yesterday on her online store… But an extra 30 prints should show up for sale soon. Keep checking!
Very nice hand-drawn typography work by Jon Contino based on the lyrics from a classic sea shanty “Blood Red Roses”:
“My clothes are all in pawn
Go down you blood red roses, go down
And it’s mighty draughty around Cape Horn
Go down you blood red roses, go down
Oh, you pinks and posies
Go down you blood red roses, go down
It’s round Cape Horn we’ve got to go
Chasing whales through ice and snow
Oh my old mother she wrote to me
My darling son come home from sea
Oh it’s one more pull and that will do
For we’re the bullies to kick her through”

Mad Men, Mad Props
Great article by Mark Simonson on the use of typefaces on Mad Men:
The show starts out with stylish opening titles featuring glimpses of real ads from the period—and a clinker: What’s Lucida Handwriting (1992) doing here? I usually consider the titles to be outside the world of the story, but considering all the period cues in these titles, this typeface, which was designed specifically for computer screens, is out of place.
