My weekly round up of typographic goodness from around the web.


Hand-crafted Font: Arcano Type
Designed by Resistenza, Arcano is inspired by nature, symbols, icons, jewels, hand-drawn designs and more. (via @beppeartz)

Timely: Egypt’s missed opportunity
From a Typophile forum post: “After the revolution the government has taken down the official site of the President and put up a coming soon page. Unfortunately, they had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to legitimately use Papyrus and they blew it. Instead it’s Algerian. Could have at the very least been Adrian Frutiger’s Egyptienne too as a non-comedy option.”

Type Tweet O’ the Week: Lending Tree Font
Funny ‘cuz it’s true. As @tubes. points out, the new Lending Tree logo is a bit spacetastic.
