These are awesome and in some cases, really inspiring. Thanks for the excellent links, RJ.

Wow. Oddly compelling, strangely fascinating. And I'm not even a font fanatic.

Great stuff, Robot Johnny. Thanks. I was particularly intrigued by this image. Up to now I had no idea someone had actually made a marketable game out of "Flinch" - the one where you hold your hands out and the other person fakes smacking them until you flinch and they get a free smack. What? What else could it be?

Because the more than 10,000 linked pictures (including the exhaustive and exhausting Typemuseum) apparently weren't enough, I googled up a few more. Can someone explain why these are so beautiful and moving? La nature est un temple où de vivants piliers Laissent parfois sortir de confuses paroles; L'homme y passe à travers des forets de symboles Qui l'observent avec des regards familiers.

As a man employed with fonts, it's intriguing to see a community reaction to typography. Rock on, type.

And one of my coworkers has a gallery online of Found Type from Stockholm which deserves some recognition.

Wow! Cool! Thanks RJ! You've inspired me to go out and take my own found typography shots. I can think of half a dozen straight away. A

'cept now i want to see someone actually make some of those into fonts. that's sort of what i was expecting... fonts created from found type. guess i was a little disappointed to see just the type itself... but good stuff.

Nice! - Good fonts are hard to find.
