Digital Showcase of Inspirational Typography
Typography can be one of the most fascinating elements of design. Whether it’s web design, album art, posters, or any other type of graphic design, typographical inspiration can be a great resource for designers. With that in mind I’ve compiled this collection of beautiful typographical works.
UPDATE: We recently launched a gallery site that is dedicated to typography inspiration – TypeInspire.

mmmm type! Nice list Steven…I love checking out these types of posts, one of my favorites. Thanks for including my Typography is Sexy 1-3! I think my two faves that I haven’t seen from this list are “It’s More Fun to Compute” & the Touareg Ad.
Thanks, I really love your post around typography
Beautiful collection, some really nice flyer designs
I liked the ones from Reno – See them all the time, and I think they look cool – it’s good to see them here, because their art is awesome on those… and john moon’s birthday bashes are always awesome 😀
oh yeah
eye-candy
thanks Steven, nice collection!
damn that is one hell of a list. I think there’s not a single piece I don’t like. My favourites are those by skryingbreath, Scott Hansen and 2009 (which reminds me of the art of James White).
Very trendy. Thanks!

Wow–really nice work. Thanks for sharing these!

Hi…I would agree with many others like Smaeul and David, there is not even one artpiece which i don’t like but as “Black and White” appeals me the most, I find “Let’s go Get Lost” the most intresting one.
Well, just a week back I compiled some “22 Amazing Examples of Black and White Typography”
Although, i also recived a good response but I wish I could have seen yours before and linked few of these to your blog 🙁
This is a brilliant collection of great examples of typography. I believe typography to be the most important and difficult aspect of design and not enough designs give it the attention it needs, if you can get it right a design will work it self almost. If you are interested in typography and how it work with in the web this is a good place to start planning http://www.wpdfd.com/featured_designs/ Let me know your thoughts.

Great list! Ocean’s 11 and Ocean’s 12 posters are definitely 2 of the best movie posters ever!
Cheers!
Great work for the typography!
This gallery seems rather rushed and I’ve seen some of these in other Typography galleries.
Hi Christopher,
This post is almost 6 months old, so yes, many of these items have now been seen in other places.
No offense or anything of the such. I’m a fan of the website, and when you get use to a certain level of quality when it comes to the articles, a ‘half-way’ good one sticks out like a sore thumb.

Brilliant…Great designing work…the brush used in “Open” is really awesome…The motif used in the designing of H5 stands out from the rest…These are very colorful and the ones with the 3D effect like “Purpose” and “Green” are really impressive (though I don’t like 3D effects in Typography)…This is a comprehensive list; this is very inspirational…Thanks for sharing it!!!
