So, I just got the newest issue of PRINT magazine in my mailbox (which is totally dedicated to typography, yay), and on page 14 I found TypeIsArt.com. (You know, so if I’m tired of Bembo’s Zoo, making fonts free online, and creating word clouds, then I have something else to do.) Type is Art states that:

“All letterforms are composed of 21 distinct parts. Most commonly these parts combine to form the characters of our alphabet. Type is Art allows for the experimentation of forms beyond this typical character set.”

You can see these “distinct parts” on the above poster from the Type is Art web-page.

Anyway, the best part of Type is Art is that you can create your own art online, for free! You can twist and turn letters and make them bigger and smaller. Most importantly, you can waste hours of what should be “work time.” And, really, that’s what the internet is for, isn’t it?
