iLoveTypography is a very interesting blog about type and its numerous faces. Type’s impact in today’s visual culture is rather invisible, though nothing is more ubiquitous, nothing more substantial, more changing than the form and arrangement of letters. Either paper or screen, the way typographers design and use their typefaces defines the space in which we create and distribute our ideas.

This week, iLT has a great contest involving movies and the latest FontBook from FontShop, a 3kg, $100 book of type specimens. The prize: nothing less than a copy of the bible itself: Robert Bringhurst’s The Elements of Typographic Style.
Although I was expecting the actual FontBook as a prize, I do appreciate the contest and I can’t wait to see who won. I’m posting my entry in the contest because I have to start this blog some other way than copypasting random snips from project gutenberg.
