Fantastic Type Work in Progress

Sometimes, type just "works." The designer is skilled enough that you lose sight of what is occurring technically, and the type just speaks. I came across a great piece of work in progress that seems headed in that direction, where the setting appears effortless. It is a work of John Boardley, an English designer in Japan. Mr. Boardly has the distinction of also being the creator of ilovetypography.com, a website dedicated to, well, typography. He created the website in 2007 and while it is a very niche website, it's just as popular as DaringFireball.net (a well known site for web development).

So, with further ado, take a look at his personal work:



If you get a chance, take a look. "Johno" works very hard to, as he says, bring type to the masses, and both ilovetypography.com and his own work deserve recognition. Enjoy!
