Love is in the Air and...

Some say love is in the air in February ~ I say "typography" is in the air.

Let's check in with Wikipedia: art and technique of arranging type in order to make language visible. The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line length and leading (line spacing.) And, until the digital age, typography was a specialized occupation.

Lately, I am drawn to typography as art..it seems to be everywhere I turn. There are amazing pieces on etsy, 20x200 and Felt and Wire to name a few. Best, an original is quite affordable. I purchased the print below from rawartletterpress on etsy for just $30.00. (it is for my pink girl Emma ;) Be sure to buy an original and not a print copy of a print -- seeing and feeling the ink on the paper makes it more special.

I wonder what you would pick to express yourself. ???
