#TypefaceThursday?
I know I know, it's Thursday, not Tuesday! I was super swamped this week at work, especially on Tuesday and haven't had time to post.
Last Friday was my first official (real-time-job) Christmas Work Party! It was held at Texas Land & Cattle. How perfect for the meat-lover I am. I ended up ordering my co-worker's husband a steak to-go : ) But the party itself was great. Everyone was supposed to bring in a $10 limit gift for a gift exchange. The gifts that were stolen the most were $10 worth of scratch offs. I ended up with an iTunes gift card and some rubbery, tentacly, light-up worm thing haha. It was entertaining. There were also some bigger prizes that a few people won for various reasons. One of the big gifts was awarded to the most Christmas-Spirited person...and I won! I have my great-grandmother's Christmas Bow earrings to thank : )
So I went up to the table to pick out my gift and my boss, Michelle, says "I bet it's a year's supply of meat!" as I'm unwrapping it. Turns out, it was a gift card to Honey Baked Ham hahaha. We all got a kick out of that. Luckily for me I was able to exchange that gift later on and picked out a wine, cheese, and chocolate picnic gift basket. It was much more suited to my taste. A winter picnic date has now been added to my to-do list : )
Overall it was a great night and really put me in the Holiday Spirit. My bare bones apartment is lacking any Christmas cheer. I forgot to bring the little 4ft tree my parents have back to AR after Thanksgiving break. With such little storage in my apartment I usually retrieve it from the basement at home every Thanksgiving Break and then bring it back when I return for Christmas with the family. Sadly, this year I will have to go without.
Last week's Typeface Tuesday was Gotham. Arguably one of the best typefaces ever...in my opinion. Gotham was created by Tobias Frere-Jones and is a "hardworking typeface for the ages."
The package I took that from was the side of the Coke box. Their new design for the arctic winter and save the polar bears campaign has really caught my eye this year.
So now onto Typeface Thursday?
I actually found this infographic on Tuesday, thanks to my friend Aaron, but didn't have time to write the post. It's pretty humorous I think...or maybe just an inside joke but regardless, here it is. Judge for yourself.
Here's the full infographic
So, do you know what typeface is used here?
Leave me a comment and make sure to include this info:
1. Name of the Typeface
2. Who designed it
3. Comments you have about the typeface - thoughts, feelings, do you like it?
4. Any pictures of other pieces that use this typeface.
Sorry again for the late post, but I'm still getting the hang of making myself post regularly!
I hope everyone's Christmas shopping is going well - I know I have much more to purchase in the next week!
Good luck, and Happy #TypefaceThursday? !!
