Kerned Events
Joe Newton, one of the authors of Kerned Events has gone under my type radar for far too long. Kerned Events is a blog where Joe will take headlines and current events and create typographic renderings of them using some very nice typefaces. This to me is reminiscent of Wordage Weekly, or my moleskines. I’m totally digging Kerned Events!!

This was the Illustrated image to associate with a small article “Up Front: Why Criticism Matters” in the New York Times recently. I happen to love it! The article is an investigation into the function and craft of criticism. Interesting reading.
