Have been playing around with whether this display lettering could form the basis of a full blown type family.

Just in my inbox from MyFonts, top 10 fonts of 2008. Usually sceptical about emailshots that list a bunch of products, typically to promote poor sellers, I’m however inclined to agree with them about Museo.

I stumbled up on this recently: The World Book of Logotypes from the 70s. Beautiful. Particularly interesting source for graphic designers, including perhaps the designers over at Landor Associates who rebranded British Midland in 2001. Then again, it’s a pretty obvious shape to make out of those three letters.

With the recent rise of online applications there’s great online software out there, but on further investigation, does FontStruct match up to the hype?
