A new FontFont release is always sure to pique the interest of type lovers worldwide. Not only are existing FontFonts converted to OpenType and sometimes do they receive language extensions making them even more useful. Every release also features exciting new designs – this time FF Mach and FF Masala by fan favourites Łukasz Dziedzic and Xavier Dupré, and at last the Condensed Italic weights that complete the insanely popular FF DIN family. And this time FontFont is even launching a new font format specifically aimed at PC office users.

I just love Friday 13th, as it always gives me an excuse to post total and utter silliness on Unzipped. This time no contest, but a funny and often hilarious Group Pool on Flickr – Bad Menus! It compiles bad and funny restaurant menus, signs and food packages. The images feature egregious misspellings, bad translations, lousy visual layout, and disgusting-looking food. If you have some time to burn, dive in!

Not that we were a-social to begin with, far from that, but since a little while FontShop BeNeLux has incorporated a number of social media channels in its communication activities. Although FontShop and FontFont already have Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, Behance, Isuu, … accounts, FontShop BeNeLux thought it would be useful to deliver localised information to our customers in The Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxemburg. Plus now you can share any Unzipped post by simply clicking the appropriate icon in the navigation side bar.

60 minutes. 1 magazine. At 60MM young up-and-coming creatives (journalists, photographers, illustrators, graphic designers and so on) produce – under the guidance of professionals – a magazine in one hour. Hanna Hagenaars, editor in chief of photography magazine Mister Motley, is guest editor in chief. The type for this project is offered by renowned Belgian foundry OurType, who puts their entire library at the disposal of the 60MM for the duration of the project.

This afternoon I heard on the radio that today was National Day of The Sauna, so what better way to celebrate the occasion by spotlighting the type family with the same name. And Sauna comes with a special treat – the specimen book Read Naked showcases the Sauna fonts, and is printed with a remarkable ink revealed only by steam. It's such a clever vessel of word and art it will make a sauna junkie of anyone who touches it. |

Looks like I’m on a kinky streak (pardon the pun). After the vintage 70s and 80s porn logos on The Fontfeed here's another post with nekkid girls. This one however has nothing to do with porn movies, but more with guerilla filming and performance art.
