A-u-t-o-t-y-p-o-g-r-a-p-h-y is an amazing & ambitious exploration into typography from Darius Ou Dahao, a graphic designer from Singapore.

Autotypography ( A / T ) is a long-term project self-initiated by Darius Ou on the 16th of June 2012

A graphic poster is created everyday, serving as recounts of his daily life as a designer, using typographic & illustrative methods. This project also serves as a platform for practice in typography and experimental treatments, as well as discipline and commitment to graphic design.

I would love to showcase 100’s of Darius pieces here but I’ll let you lose hours in the wonderful collection of typograhic works thus far

A lovely minimalist poster design for the Jessie Ware Tour from the team at StudioMoross, well worth checking out, some other great work on show.

Jessie’s own site is also beautifully minimal and uses Sacker Gothic.

Last month the very talented bunch at Typotheque released Supernova, a new script like typeface in a range of cuts and weights.

The Supernova family has five weights, making it versatile enough to be used as a body typeface and daring enough to be a display typeface, as you can see from the images above it has some truly beautiful swashes and works great at different sizes.

Beautifully designed bottles by German designer Timo Thurner. The mostly typographic approach is visually strong and appealing. The colours are also effective along with the typographic treatment on the lids.

An interesting experiment in responsive typography from Marko Dugonjić with the idea that the type will scale up or down based on the users distance from the screen to make the size of the text optimal for the distance.

I’ve made a short video demo for those without webcams of the breakpoint test, the breakpoints change based on the distance of my face from the camera on my macbook.

An interesting article from Randy Edmunds on the ability or current lack of for balancing typography better in the browser and eliminating those pesky widows.

Any web designer already knows the pain of this issue, adding in custom line breaks to balance out your content. While this crude approach may work, it doesn’t bode well for sites that your clients manage their own copy.

The proposed solution would be a simple additional CSS property:

h1 {
  text-wrap: balance;
}

While the web need much better native typographic control, it could be a while before we see types of solutions be implements, fortunately there is a small jQuery solution which you can find over at the full article.
