H (helvetica) http://www.unravel.ca/blog/items/view/1081/h-helvetica

Le "H", reprenant les proportions exactes de "l’Helvetica", typographie aux traits jugés si purs, est le symbole de la recherche d’efficacité. Face à une société aux comportements stéréotypés, l’individu a pour seul repère des modèles préconçus et adoptés par tous. Retranché dans un sentiment de fatalité, l’individu hanté par ses pulsions se révolte dans un vertige de violence. Cast: filnug

Apparently there are more stylish feed readers out there (who knew?). Typography big wheel Antonio Carusone of Aisle One has developed some fantastic looking themes that should appease any typophile.

New Facebook http://www.unravel.ca/blog/items/view/512/new-facebook

Usually I am supportive of major changes on Facebook. Today I am not. Mine just switched over and i think they blew the typography and tried to copy twitter too much.

IMO.

Ampersand T http://www.unravel.ca/blog/items/view/183/ampersand-t

I just picked up this f'n sweet ampersand t' from Ugmonk. They have some other cool stuff featuring the letter "a" and the number "5". Yep.

There's nothing more design nerdy than ampersands, and i'm no different. It's easily the coolest character ever. Ugmonk spices it up a bit with some copy "& then I woke up"...nice touch.

learn more about ampersands here .
