Every designer loves good type and knows how important typography is for a design. It doesn’t matter if we are talking about web, print or packaging, we all know how crucial it is to use the proper typography for each of our projects.
Talking a little bit about definitions, I love when I read Wikipedia’s definition of typography: ”Typography is the art and technique of arranging type in order to make the language it forms most appealing to transparent learning and recognition”. And I do believe that it is an art to arrange type in a beautiful and efficient way, specially when you need to communicate something important to an specific audience.

One of my favourite weekend treats is Fonts From The Flea Market, an ongoing typographic journey of discovery posted on the Twitter account of Swiss graphic design studio Büro Destruct. Lorenz “Lopetz” Gianfreda started the series four years ago while browsing countless used 7″ vinyl singles at a flea market in the French part of Switzerland. In the days when music was still sold as a physical, tangible product, record sleeves provided original typefaces with a great platform to catch the potential record buyer’s attention. Hunting down those imaginative type designs at flea markets and second hand shops became a source of inspiration and visceral pleasure for Lopetz. The type maniac and font designer started photographing them and sharing them with like-minded people, and the series was born. The collection currently holds over 800 images and is truly fascinating.
