This spring, Nike (heard of them?) will be releasing the Nike Air More Uptempo which will feature this oversized AIR type and “Sunset” colorway. Would hate to get these dirty. (discovered here)

For the Love of Typography

“For the Love of Typography” marks the launch of Type Circus, a blog for those who are passionate about type design and hand lettering. Welcome . . . please take a look around.

Our first post is full of love - the mailable kind - thanks to east-coast based illustrator, muralist, and maker Bailey Sullivan (aka Bailzy) who designed this LOVE stamp for the US Postal Service. These stamps will be available beginning January 14th, 2021. (discovered here)

Visit Type Circus often - we’ll keep the tent open for you.
