Last month was  Jamie’s favorite, and September is mine. And it’s my favorite for the same reason: this month is my birthday! This month’s “Face of Type” is our personal favorite, Clarendon. It’s a clean, slab-serif font named after the Clarendon Press in Oxford. It was the first typeface to be registered and patented, but expired after three years and

It’s August, my favorite month. Can you guess why? It’s my birthday month! This month for “Face of Type” we chose Bureau Grotesque. It is a wonderful, more condensed, san serif font perfect for display.  Font Fun Fact: Bureau Grotesque is one of the fonts we use for A Pear of Pears’ Identity. Notice the word “Pears” in our blog’s header. Yep, that’s

London is, well… quite lovely if you ask me. I love the culture, the accents, and the history of city. While studying there on a college summer trip, I had a project where I was assigned to design a mind map illustrating what I did over the weekend. It was a fun personal project that always brings back fond memories

You know that plack you see hanging in everyone’s house? The one that says “Home is where the heart is”.  Well I think that quote has run it’s course. It’s kind of like when you have too much of a good thing. Here is a quote to replace it. I like this version better anyway. It’s clever, kind of corny, but fun. Source:

Ever since Jake surprised me with my new smart phone I’ve been taking advantage of the alarm clock feature where you can set your alarm to play any song on your phone. My previous phone just let you to play those hideous noises that are made to make you wake up on the wrong side of the bed. In order to avoid one more morning of awful sounds, I quickly

The Hauser has been my favorite looking apartment building ever since I came to LA. I used to pass it each day on the way to my internship during my semester of film school. None of the other buildings on Hauser Blvd. are anywhere near as cool looking. I just love the fact that someone took the time to design
