Not My Type
Jon is participating in NOT MY TYPE: An Out of Character Experiment. The show is a “typographical exploration of 26 letters (and a few stray characters) by 35 different illustrators, designers and artists, all displayed as one alphabet”. Curated by Charlotte Audrey and Jonathan Costello, the project is sponsored by Fluid (a Birmingham-based studio) and Creating in Birmingham (the site of the event). The show opens May 6th and runs through June 1st. For more info, and availability of the prints, check out the Facebook group and the CMYKern website.
Hype For Type - The Font
Jon’s font for the previously-blogged Hype For Type project is officially making the rounds. You can spot it as the current splash page for Jon’s website and at Hype For Type’s site, where they have this little interview posted:
Q: Where did the idea for the Burgerman font come from?
A: I wanted to make a font that was fun and suggested personalities and characters for each letter and symbol.
Q: Tell us about the end result?
A: Well, I think I made what I set out to make. It’s fun to write naughty words with it.
Q: Overall, do you think it’s been a success?
A: That’s really down to the people who are going to use the font. I’m really happy with it, I’d like to make more fonts in the future too.
