Now I know it has been a while since my last post. Three months approximately. I blame my procrastination and lack of productivity on moving house, my growing kitten, and my predictable pattern of falling into a rut now and then.
But alas! Drawn from Type is back and stronger than ever for 2012.
Todays post, aside from serving as a late greeting for the new years, is also a delayed reaction to massive news in the type world. And because my stalking ways have allowed me to find that my favourite type hero, Miss Jessica Hische, was recently in my beloved home city of Sydney, this does seem like a very fitting (delayed) subject to write about. You know, being that she was here and all.
Cue extremely amazing fantastic news:
The trailer for Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom has been released.
Yes, the internet exploded. Yes, it looks ridiculously amazing. Yes, the nostalgic awkward and vintage brilliance of all Wes Anderson films is still alive and kicking.
And Jessica Hische has provided custom lettering for all the titles and credits of the film.
Boom.
Oh my goodness type lovers, I have never been so smitten by mustard lettering. The impeccable flourishing of the letters, the clean simplicity of each character, and the uncanny homage to old school cinema is delightful. Magnifique, if I may be so bold. (heh..see what did there?)
Jokes aside readers: watch the trailer, pull your sh*t together and marvel at probably the most amazing on screen type marriage of 2012.
