My Unofficial Relationship with Type

So yeah I have a thing for type. I like letters, they make me happy. We take long walks, whisper sweet nothings in each other's ear. Okay, no. But I do feel some type of way about a slab-serif lowercase "G".  I never imagined function and fantasy merging and creating .... the " leather type-bag" (gasp!) Yes, I kid you not. A handbag, made from type! (shock! and awe!) 

from Assouline ($450) made by Cole Haan...fabulous yes!

Also some creative things from The Heads of State, former professor Jason Kernevich and partner (design partner folks) Dusty Summers. They went back to their Alma mater Tyler School of Art (Philadelphia, PA) and carved an alphabet in the ceiling (pretty awesome huh?). See kids this is what you can do when you graduate and make a name for yourself. Slam! Those guys are always up to something creative, check their site, check the accolades...check their books, they have to bribing someone. Seriously, they're crazy talented.
