We all sometimes like to think that designing, or any creative work for that matter, is all about talent, exploring ideas and executing amazing projects; that the most important asset in getting our work done is creativity.

Typography is one of the purest manifestations of the craft of the designer: the intersection of meaning, purpose and expression.

Below, you’ll find a collection of some of the most interesting, finest type designs and letter treatments we’ve seen recently.
