After answering four simple questions, I found out I am this type:

Archer Hairline by Hoefler & Frere-Jones. According to the Freudian dude, Archer Hairline is my type because I am “someone who is outwardly composed, but will occasionally run into the bathroom for a quick laugh or quiet cry before emerging to the world outwardly composed again.” I suppose so… In either case, I love Archer. Find out what what type you are. (Password: character)

I’m really liking these designs, especially with the use of kraft paper/board. Very appealing.

wow…!

bauldoff:

This is just fantastic. Alphabets by photographer Bela Borsodi. I’m really smitten with the lot of his work.

You may remember that Bela collaborated with Sagmeister for Drugs are fun in the beginning but become a drag later on, part of Sagmeister’s Things I Have Learned.
