Beautiful Type Treatment

May 10, 2012 7:05 AM

Been making a conscious effort lately to not only boost my awareness and understanding of typography in general but become more proficient with creating attractive type treatments, stylizations, etc.

I now work in a field where I get to use typograhy a lot, and it's typically the focal point, too.

My question - Do you know of any quality showcases/portfolios/archives of nice type treatment examples? Anything that you find inspiring, etc . . .

Thanks all.

Mathias,

Just a thought on the sideline: It is worth remembering that often, simple is beautiful, and adornment should always be justified; sometimes, it may uglify, or messify, rather than beautify.

Tons of them. In the past, I've got my inspiration from the following URLs:

Jacob, I agree.

Sudarshan, thanks for taking the time to dish out some links. A few of those I like a lot!

Too bad the Typography forum is slow moving around here . . .
