oh my goth*

*Swooon*  My favorite font, hands down, is Blackletter.  So imagine how fast I ordered up Fraktur mon Amour by Judith Schalansky featuring 333 historical and contemporary Blackletter variations.  Yes, it's pricey, but it comes with a cd containing 150 of them…and it's a gorgeous volume that makes me so happy just to page through.

Can you stand how cool this is?  I love the random and abstract graphic play with the fonts on the left pages….had to have a go at it…with my fave song title.

    What a gorgeous book! I love typography of any kind and I’m adding this to my wishlist immediately! Hmmm … perhaps a well-timed hint to my husband is in order, my birthday is next month! Thanks for the tip!
