Marlene Stencil

Nicola Djurek has extended his wonderful Marlene with Stencil styles, which offer 4 alternate swashes per glyph. He's crazy.

Capitolium, Coranto and Pollen

Finally, the magnificent Gerard Unger typefaces can be bought at typetogether or MyFonts. Developed especially as newspaper headlines faces or signage type, they are both very space-saving and have excellent display qualities at the same time. Now if he only would release Gulliver as well ;)

Pollen is a very nice, playful, soft serif by the Brazilian designer Eduardo Berliner

Kieler Woche posters

Kieler Woche is a sailing cup in Germany, and the best thing about it, they ask renowned designers to create new identity every year. Some of the highlights from over 60 years of nice poster design can be found on the homepage (Click Übersicht der eingerichten Entwürfe to see the runner-ups, well worth it)

And here's an overview of winning designs

Of course there's a book on Amazon about it too, only 5 copies left, so hurry up

Explorations in Typography

Not sure if this is terribly old, but here is a book by Erik Spiekermann and Carolina de Bartolo. Basically it's not the book itself that interests me (the layouts don't seem very practical and reading the same (?) article over and over, I don't know. I think they could've come up with more content. This is based on the first impression though, I will have to wait till the book arrives) The site is remarkably well done, it's almost like a layout app in your browser, or at least a great specimen tool for a type foundry. Here it is: Explorations in Typography
