One Tuesday every month, I’m going to round up a couple (maybe a few) awesome display typefaces to showcase and give a little breakdown on each one. If you have a suggestion you want me to take a look at, drop me a line. Let’s jump straight into some headline goodness.

First up this month is a gorgeous brush script inspired by the signage of San Francisco. Mission Script by James Edmondson is a casual design with good flow. A few Opentype ligatures and contextual alternates for repeated letters like “ll” and “ss” are included. I love the weight and contrast of the typeface — not too thick, not too thin. Plus, it has an awesome ampersand so how can you say no. Get your a copy of Mission Script at The Lost Type Co-op. Continue reading

On the first Wednesday of every month, I’m going to pull together some inspirations and resources I have around and make some sweet desktop wallpapers. It’s usually just going to be one or two at a time. They will be all over the place, from type related to whatever cool pattern I might be digging at the moment. As always, let me know what you like or if there is something you want to see.
Ah, February. You wield the double edge sword of love with your Valentine’s Day. Show some mercy and have a heart. Put together with Homestead and textures from Valleys in the Vinyl as part of the ZeroBundle, this month’s wallpaper is a quick reminder to be nice and have a heart.

With the way the holidays are soaking up all my time, I’m going to wrap up this month’s Wallpaper Wednesday and Headline Heads-Up into one big update post. But first, here’s some other cool things to go check out.

Some great lettering and all around good type & design.

A cool CSS trick with icon fonts.

If you haven’t heard of the Wood Type Revival, stop reading now and go check it out… don’t worry this post will still be here when you get back. They released an initial free version of Fatboy as part of their Kickstarter campaign which I’ve had sitting around for awhile and wanted to do something with it. Once I saw these vintage paper textures from Bittbox, things just rolled together real fast. I topped it all off by setting SpareType in Old Press — a font that will be part of this month’s Headline Heads Up.
