Dueling letters. Extravagant fonts. Consumer engagement.
What’s not to love?
Thetypefight.com is an online project that allows visitors to the site to vote on which letter of the week (today, it’s Q) is better-looking.
Some days it’s an easy choice, some days it’s not. But every day showcases a different artist and tells the story of the font up for debate.
The most recent font (a fight between W’s) was decided with only 3 votes.
Like fonts? Love graphics? This site’s for you. It’s sure to be entertaining, and you may just learn something, too.

Pardon the interruption.
We’re taking a break from our regularly scheduling blogging to toot some horns.
Our home, FS2, was featured on FastCoDesign today.
A new tech startup office in Charleston, South Carolina, by Fabric Urban Design Office, combines high-minded idealism with wallet-friendly materials.
Jacob Lindsey, who runs the studio Fabric Urban Design Office in Charleston, South Carolina, got the chance to retrofit one of the city’s decrepit former TV studios downtown into an office space for the headset set, he decided to make it more like an actual city. Called FS2, the space was pretty much left intact on the outside. But once on the inside, with ceilings 22 feet high, Lindsey and the rest of the team — design firm Brown Architecture, the general contractor Clambank Construction, and structural engineer Atlantic BCS — placed two 17-foot curvilinear walls that intersected near the center to serve as the sort of place where real-life social networking could occur. Lindsey, who considers himself an urbanist by practice, says the interior was conceived almost like a series of streets–with the lobby performing the function of a piazza–to maximize casual interactions.
We love the space and couldn’t imagine our workdays anywhere else.
Kudos to Charleston, The Digital Corridor, Lindsey, Fabric Urban Design and the rest of the building team – well deserved!

Very cool stop motion piece for Nokia’s N8 Phone…
What does this piece have to do with the N8? The entire thing was shot with the N8 Phone.
The phones were mounted in a custom-built rig and operated remotely by the camera crew in order to capture the huge images.
Amazing what you can do with sand artists, volunteers and…a cell phone.
