A Dozen Terrific Typography Designs

Lately, we’ve been crazy about all things typo, and as we’ve come across so many incredibly innovative design, we just had to select our favorites for you all to marvel on. All the following designs are made by artists, photographers, illustrators and design students all across the world, hand selected by our Design & Paper team. 

Typography comes in so many forms and shapes, from carefully perfected computer drawn characters to more artistic photographic designs. As these designs are not made for reproduction, or in everyday use, they can be as creative and crazy as they can – which we just love!

As this collection is only a fraction of all the great designs out there we’ve happened to come across, we’re asking you to send us your favorites! If you know a talented artist or just happen to know a great design, send a link with the appropriate credits to editor@designandpaper.com, and we’ll publish it.

Enjoy the eye candy!
