poster series
I really like this poster series I don't know. But numbers just appeal to me. I like the series because there's alot going on but it's still a cohesive design because of the numbers

Mathew Carter
Throughout the years I was conducting design seminars around the country, one of the most popular segments of my Creative Layout & Design seminar was the Typography & Fonts. The presentation started with "Which font should I use," which demonstrated a world of great fonts and faces other than the traditional Times, Bookman, Helvetica and Brush. (Yuch!) When it came to a classic serif with an old style twist, the modern digitization of Galliard was one of the ones I stressed. Of course that was ITC Gailliard, forged from the pen of typography master Matthew Carter. I would show wall-sized blow-ups of the lower case a, g, and f from the Gailliard Italic demonstrating their unique personality and almost steel-brush quality. But that revival is but one from Carter's illustrious and continuing career.
Matthew Carter is a type designer with more than forty years' experience of involvement in the typographic arts ranging from hand-cut punches to digitized computer fonts. He began in the Linotype companies where he designed and developed type faces for many years, then became a co-founder of Bitstream Inc., the digital typefoundry in 1981. Today, he is a principal of Carter & Cone Type Inc., in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he and Cone (also from Bitstream) continue to design and produce original typefaces.

Castle
This font is from NBC's Castle. The main character is a high profile writer who shadow's hot detective as inspiration for his books. That in mind it's just a brilliant design. It works better when you can see the motion, how the pen moves in a downwards thrusting motion but what I really love is the blood in place of the ink. That contrast and the splatter effect are just a few things that enhances the gestalt of this piece
