I want that Font

Two awesome fonts and....welll....the BEST album cover EVA!

2008-06-12T04:28:00.001-07:00

Yes, Let's Skate, has got to be the best most awful gay mess of an album cover ever!
Now back to our regularly scheduled programme....
We SO want that Electric font we can barely contain ourselves. If anyone knows where how to get in touch with the red-neck girl who has that on her bedroom wall next to the dolphin leaping off a liquid world and Toby Kieth posters, please give her our info (we'll even take the unicorn).
The final font is a masterpiece in minimalism. It's amazing what one can do with a few lines and primary shapes. We know that there are a lot of fonts out there like this, but this one's colors caught our eye.

Hello, all! Well, it's Thursday and it's spring, and there are too-oo many colorful designs not to mention this invite constructed by Alex Bec. Bespoke type design with overlapping foil blocking. Lovely stuff. View more of Alex's work here.

Missed all of you!

Sorry it's been a few days, but we've been MAD busy! Me working on Gutter, Kari living in NYC (a job in and of itself!)
anyways, here's some fonts that we (well me anyway!) are craving! The second one was sent in by a loyal reader in Des Moines Iowa who wrote:

Dear IWTF,

It's been a long winter here on the farm...thought I would send you something....In my town, I'm considered "Different"
Kisses,
Farmer Ed Brown

oh, JMG, this one's for you.

The kerning here, frankly, makes one wanna womit. The italic serifs are [agad] completely painful and indiscrete. And dear god, the dotted 'i'. However, I won't lie. I've been exactly here, in these very skinny italicized serifs, in these extremely fat lines ... all for you, old italic font - all for you. It is a lovely piece of history, kind of all over the place. But yet, it's still lovely, and the 'a' is damn near perfect.

all we need...

2008-05-23T11:52:00.000-07:00

The tiny serif here, well...it's more than excusable. We like sans serif a lot, but we love this font. We like it, we love it, we want it. more to love here.

Laura's tight font...

2008-05-20T07:50:00.000-07:00

Besides being one of the creepier movie posters ever made (it was done in a time before over -designed photoshop "grimy film" filters), the Eyes of Laura Mars sports a pretty rockin' font that we're dying to have. It looks like it could be the still-expensive Avant Garde, but maybe not. Anyway, we dig this font and we dig the movie (it's like Friday the 13th on Madison Avenue with a more f'ed up ending that we're still trying to figure out....but the fashion photography and soundtrack in the film SO makes up for all the improbable plot devices) so buy both.

thank you.

2008-05-19T10:20:00.000-07:00

To those of you who may feel some measure of scorn for italics: this little deco-esque book cover treatment from the portfolio of Alex Prochut works it! - it really does. Kari also thinks it should be put to use to thank everyone for the birthday wishes. Happy Monday!

2008-05-17T11:47:00.000-07:00

you rock!

2008-05-16T12:10:00.000-07:00

Oh, Anderson. How cool is this. We love it.

2008-05-14T11:01:00.000-07:00

Alright, Marian Bantjes just plain blows our minds [enough said]. Read more about her here. See more of her work here

See me....Feel me...touch me....Meeley

2008-05-13T06:13:00.000-07:00

We have no idea where to begin with this one.
We're not big on the font but that's like saying one didn't like Inside Angela's Ass IV because of the script.
OK. All-American uncles Milton and Bradley actually came up with a game to play with their kids called Feeley Meeley....Feeley fucking Meeley.... "C'mon gang! Uncle Milton wants to play Feeley Meeley again! Swell!"
This NMBLA-sponsored fun speaks for itself.
$20 says that Feeley Meeley games can now be found in church basements across the midwest.

(We DON'T really want this font, but had to post b-4 someone more clever did!)

ahh, board games...

2008-05-12T11:47:00.001-07:00

I know it's difficult, but try to focus on the logo...it reads 'dust,' not lust. we want. this. font.

Oh he walks with me.....he types with me....he tells me that this font is a bunch of holy awesomeness....
Anyway, if JC came back this is the font he would want for his T-shirt, or at least for the cover of the new Judy Blume book he was reading. You can pray here for this font.

Southern fried font

2008-05-12T05:32:00.000-07:00

Slow ride...Take it easy...After a weekend of too many Jack and Cokes, we were craving some southern fried fonts. Something that we could use to light up a jay and sit back and slowly get stoned while listening to some Foghat. We found one. Feel free to pass this gem around like a good joint. The pushers of this fine "product" can be found here. There's plenty more where that came from so smoke up and type.

relief.

2008-05-10T16:05:00.000-07:00

This font by Alex Robbins reminds me of those crazy toys we all played with as kids at
[dare I say it?] Spencer gifts. haha. The push-pin effect is rad, here. Happy Saturday, folks.

2008-05-10T07:21:00.000-07:00

YAY! Rain, rain go away...
How can you NOT like this font? We luver it! This site is the Wonka Chocolates of font sites. Yum.

2008-05-09T07:33:00.000-07:00

Today's post has been brought to you by the letters L, C, and D and by the number one.

Who doesn't like Blocks? Lines? LCD Soundsystem (click for a scooby snack)?
Bring them all together? Posters from heaven...

Fonts with puckin' balls

2008-05-08T09:06:00.000-07:00

Yeah. I SO dig these examples of fonts you will never find today, paired with athletes you will never find today. These were waaaayyyyyyy b4 our time on this polluted orb and we wish we had some analog examples.
Balls yo!!!
Disclaimer: The cards in this post are not directly responsible for Kari's probable nausea. The feeling comes from the fonts. (Esp. the basketball ones)

Good Morning (rocking font)

2008-05-07T20:03:00.000-07:00

It's WAY late. I know I should be editing the new issue of Gutter, but I came across this AWESOME font.
And fuck it. I WANT IT!!!! (It's thanks to these peeps).

We're NOT an album cover blog, but damn...record fonts rock.
Say this dudes name over and over for hours of fun.

our first post

2008-05-07T07:11:00.000-07:00

we want that juicy red font. Although it looks like it was cribbed from a program of a high school production of GREASE....still cool though.
Disco.
