Laura Barnard, illustrator, (trouble)maker – her own description of herself, I promise – wielder of pencils and prolific Twitterer.

Laura’s take on the UK’s high-speed rail link explores the possibilities of incorporating extra railway lines and how to make the trains go faster. Her quirky, cityscape style lends a hand to describe an outlandish way of making the trains go faster, if a little nausea inducing.

Take a look at Laura’s other work on her website

The Diary of Type Project is the personal typographic diary of visual artist and designer Vladimir Končar.

Vladimir collects various, everyday objects and forms letters with them. Vladimir says, “with those letters I write my thoughts down and they are a symbolic link between the font and the reflections”. Here are some of the selected faces.

Welcome! Chances are if you found us here you have some interest, love, fascination (or dirty fetish) for Typography. Or maybe you thought this site was really about bears. Sorry!

We here at catb want to express our love for letterforms by sharing with you the most amazing uses of type from around the globe. Using an amount of bears as our scale, anything we find to be as cool as ten of these goes in to the mix.

Catb is updated daily, with multiple authors from different design disciplines, nationalities and backgrounds. Collectively we aim to provide a broad and inspiring view of type and design culture. We also want to see what you love, you can give love to individual posts your logged in or not, it’s just like voting for the things you like the most.

Also, you can customize the way you view or content by changing the order of the posts. You can view them by the most recent, most loved over all time, or posts that have received the most love over a certain duration.

You can also connect with us via facebook and twitter accounts and tell us what you think! We also encourage you to spread the word, share our links on facebook, twitter and your other preferred social media, link back to our posts on your blogs, and suggest quality content for us to consider, be it your own work, or something you simply saw and wanted to share.
