Part of a very cool set on flickr of German Emergency Currency, Notgeld, from between 1914 and 1923. The set owner gives a very interesting history of these notes originally belonging to his Wife’s family, I highly recommend viewing the entire set, for the history as much for the beautiful examples of German design.

It’s about whittling. It’s about taking something and whittling and whittling and getting it sharp and perfect. Then you’ve got something.

There is so much to love about this font – I must have it! :)

When I realised it is designed by Kevin Cornell of Bearskinrug, I was not surprised I like it so much – I like his style of illustration. Take a look at the top right hand corner of this page (The Bear) I love it!

I’ve been collecting a list of original book cover designs that I really like, my favourite so far is Rabbit, Run.

With Slaughterhouse-Five a close second.
