I’ve already posted Day 1 of LetterCult’s massive Custom Letters: Best of 2012 line-up. In the meantime, they’ve added Day 2 and Day 3, and if you just want to see the whole lot – all three days at once, now you can do that too.
British illustrator (and presumably, big hip-hop fan) Mike Skinner has gone and illustrated lots of examples of mentions of fashion labels inside hip-hop songs. You can check them out at Luxury Rap. Music plus fashion plus typography? Clever. Via Design Work Life.
LetterCult have just unleashed their Custom Letters, Best of 2012 collection of typographic excellence, divided into batches, as usual, with Day One, so far, providing an impressive array of inspiring work from around the world.
Artist Jay Shells has combined his love of hip-hop and his love of sign-making into one amazing effort which has resulted in official-looking signs, sporting rap lyrics, popping up all over New York.

Jeff Hamada recently shared an interview with talented typographer & designer Jessica Hische. The video comes from a team called Like Knows Like and you can see the video over on Booooooom.
The type gurus at House Industries have just released a new Photolettering iPhone app for free. It allows you to take or import photos and then add nice typography from the House catalog to it. The catch is you only get access to 3 fonts for free, and there are many more available for 99cents a pop. Looks like we’re about to start seeing better type all over Instagram…Now available in the iTunes store.
The talented designer, illustrator, and typographer Dan Cassaro (who I interviewed several years back) has recently updated his studio website, adding in tons of great work for a wide variety of clients like Carhartt, Marvel, Time Out NY, Land’s End, and Good Magazine. And don’t miss his State Mottos Project and the Highway Typeface. Amazing stuff. Via Design Work Life.

Check out this video preview for the new graffiti/typography book, Flip The Script, from Handselecta AKA Christian Acker. I’ve not seen it in person yet, but apparently Christian has analyzed, documented, and presented the best graffiti handstyles from around the country, and with the attention to detail you’d expect to find in a typography title.

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted about a nice free font – I think you often get what you pay for when it comes to fonts…however this one has caught my eye a few times lately. It’s a vector font by Ivan Filipov, and it’s a lot of fun. More images & download link at Free Typography.
