This is just too funny: Teenage Mutant Ninja Noses. They’ve been hiding under our, um, noses all this time.

The Ministry of Type hasn’t been posting on his blog much. That’s because he’s been buried underneath a pile of projects, including a deck of playing cards with each court representing an obsession of his.
I love the corner effect on the Joker, forming the J.

Type Fight is a project to distract Drew Roper and Ryan Paule from their day-to-day grind. They hope to design the same character each week and pin them against each other in the typographic ring to battle it out for best looking letter.

“Never Forever Never for Now” by The Luxury of Protest is a “quantitative visualisation of the transient nature of empire. The visualisation graphs all known empires, colonies and territorial occupations from 2334 BCE to the present day. Each empire occupies a slice of the pie graph with a known start (+) and end (×) date. Each slice is assigned a transparency value of 10% allowing for concurrent empires to be visualised — the more empires that occupy the same period of time in history, the whiter the graph. As history progresses, humankind’s competition for wealth, resources and the relentless drive toward conquest and occupation can be clearly seen in the graph.” Great concept. Great execution.

This identity for Sao Paulo, Brazil-based Dona Baronesa relies solely on rubber stamps. I love the patterning, might have to steal that.
