Have been a long time fan of IdN since I was a design junior so its been around for ages... always interesting and uses print techniques that you may not always see used in magazine publications these days. The branding issue is a good one - also features the new Melbourne identity and how its applied to just about everything Melbourne....

Daily Drop Cap is a project by Jessica Hische, a designer/illustrator living in Brooklyn.

The project started in September 2009 in which she illustrated a letter every day. These letterforms were shown in her recent solo exhibition at Lamington Drive in Melbourne, where I had the pleasure of smelling each individual letterpress print!

Designers tend to pride themselves on their ability to name a random font, but every now and then a font will come along that can stump even the best know-it-all.

Well fear no more, as myfonts.com has brought out an iPhone app that will save your reputation – WhatTheFont.

WhatTheFont allows you to take a photo of any font, whether it be in a magazine or a web graphic, upload the image to the MyFonts server and in seconds have the correct font identified.

Best of all, WhatTheFont is free. Give it a try, it could get you out of a typography emergency.
