Just saw this book cover on Sci-Fi-O-Rama with some gorgeous lettering. If you’re interested in lots of great sci-fi and fantasy illustration the site is worth visiting, though type and lettering don’t feature there very often. I loved the exuberance of this script, it’s perfect late 60s stuff, and yes, of course I’ve traced it.
The Ministry of Type is a weblog by me, Aegir Hallmundur, about type, typography, lettering, calligraphy and other related things that inspire me. I am a designer originally from the far north of England, now living and working in Brighton in the far south of England. I love hand-tracing and recreating old designs as vector artwork, and there are many examples of that in this site. I have a portfolio here containing some examples of my paid work. I don't have a traditional blog commenting system, but you're most welcome to contact me: I've got a contact form on every article page, and one here.
