2012 Studio Hinrichs Calendar - In Stock!

We have received our shipment of the 365 Typography Calendar from Studio Hinrichs. 

From their own bio:

"The 2012 calendar features a combination of original, not commercially available typefaces, and quirky and unusual fonts designed to reflect technological changes, pop culture, famous landmarks and famous people.  All were drawn by well-known contemporary typographers, designers and artists.  Provocative in their expression, these typefaces forcefully impose their own personality, rhythm and mood on the letterform or number.  They "color" the written message, making their presence overtly known, rather than subliminally, as is the case with most fonts specified for everyday print communications.  Happily, what they show is that even repetitive numbers 1 to 31 can assume a tone of voice, ranging from whimsical to rustic to retro."

We have these available in two sizes;
23" x 33" (58.5cm x 84cm) $44
12" x 18" (30.5cm x 45.75cm) $26

Join us at ARCH on December 8th from 6 - 8pm for a reception and book signing with Megan Werner, author of the book Model Making published by Princeton Architectural Press.  Megan is a Bay Area model maker and founder of zDp Models.  She is also an adjunct professor in the interior design department at California College of the Arts.

From the Princeton Architectural Website;

"Our latest addition to the Architecture Briefs series presents the nuts and bolts of model making. In thirty-three "concept blocks," Megan Werner explores a wide range of possible types including laser-scored acrylic models, basswood topography models, acid etched metal blocks, peeled paper blocks, D-print models, cement pour blocks, and many more. Model Making includes handy appendices on materials, tools, and tips and techniques, as well as a glossary of design concepts."


Also check out Megan, in her own words discussing how the concept of her book together:
