Ironic Sans

Sunday July 5, 2009
Following links from a blog post at my husband's Radio Controlled Vehicles site I found photographer David Friedman's delightful Ironic Sans blog. A few posts that tickled my funny bone right off the bat are The Natural Cure for [Copy Goes Here] and Idea: A New Typography Term and How bold can Darth Vader be? I needed the laugh after seeing the gleam in hubby's eye when he talked about that wall of outlets from that blog post of his. No, no, no. Not in my living room you don't.

There's more than just design humor at Ironic Sans. There are practical ideas and tips as well. Idea: Word balloons as quotation marks is a nice variation on pull-quotes. And Designing Ironic Sans is a detailed, illustrated look at the stages he went through in coming up with the design of the site. And all of that is just a fraction of what you'll find in the Design category. There's much more as well. Enjoy. He's on Twitter too as @ironicsans.
