{music inspiration} peter gabriel

Since I am going to see the great Peter Gabriel in concert tonight at Red Rocks (one of the best outdoor venues ever), I thought it would be appropriate for him to be today's music inspiration. He is such an amazing musician and songwriter. I love his use of and promotion of world music artists in his projects. I also deeply admire his work with and commitment to Amnesty International.

{font love} reina

I just recently discovered this beautiful typeface called Reina Pro from Lian and had to have it. I love the combination of modern and classic. With it's beautiful flourishes and swashes on a solid foundation, Reina is flirtatious yet elegant. I've got so many ideas for uses of this font!










































This is a favorite quote of mine and I adore the way Bjork's name looks in this font. It's absolutely breathtaking. As always, please be sure to read the terms of use when purchasing or downloading any font from the web.

{font love} diesel

While I have an affinity for beautiful and elegant typefaces, I also adore rough and grungy type. Today's font spotlight is on Diesel—a down and dirty grungy typeface that manages to maintain readablity. I personally find a great beauty in the worn and weathered look and Diesel is no exception with it's elegant distress.


This quote by Kurt Cobain is one of my all time favorite quotes—it's such an insightful statement.

You can find Diesel available all over the web, but it was created by Edward Recife of misprinted type—a master of creating beauty in distress. As always, please be sure to read the terms of use when purchasing or downloading any font from the web.
