Overview

Whilst checking out what’s new and hot on the web this morning, I stumbled across the typographic work of Simon Ålander. His site www.coffeemademedoit.com has a great collection of his work, typefaces and experiments, some of which I’ve featured here. Take a look at his site when you get a chance for more treats.

You can also check our his blog and his project: One custom letter a day.
