Enjoying TypeToy

From time-to-time I like to showcase particular websites, Tumblr sites or blogs that I think are great reference points for designers. This week, I discovered TypeToy, the personal online collection of mid-century design and typography created by Aaron Eiland, a designer for Fossil in Dallas, Texas.

According to Aaron, the name of the blog is derived from the playfulness he sees from much of the work of that era.
