Bureau Bruneau
Ludvig Bruneau Rossow is the man behind Bureau Bruneau. These two projects, Lava Film and The good the bad and the Zugly have caught my eye. Lava film is the concept based on natural disasters, the typeface Lava Sans Avec is the combination of a serif font with a grotesque.
The combination of the two typefaces makes for a whole range of different multiples of letter, this allows a wide range of choice for selecting appropriate letters.

Architype Renner
As I want to create a bespoke typeface that will feature within the typographic circle publications, I have started to look at the circle and various geometric typefaces that have been created. One of the originals being created by Paul Renner; Architype Renner and later Futura was developed on from this.
Futura had many influences one of them being Virginia, the g is one the most interesting letter.

Magpie Studio
Extract from the website:
'Ours is a simple approach: listen to our clients; understand their audience; solve their problems. We've learnt that it's easier to make yourself understood when you speak in black and white. It helps to move beyond the grey areas and deliver a message loud and clear (or quiet and clear, if the brief requires).
But there's more to it than that. We're avid collectors of all things visual. We're passionate about creative colour – the bright idea that catches the eye, connects with an audience and makes a message memorable.'

Antony Burrill
Extract from Antony Burrill's website.
'Anthony Burrill’s persuasive, up-beat illustration and design has been commissioned by cultural, social and commercial clients around the world from New York, to London to Tokyo. He has also gained a following in the design world for his innovative collaborations with friends and fellow artists, designers, print-makers and film-makers.
Burrill works across a range of media, including posters, moving image and three-dimensional work. He combines an instinctive handling of colour and composition with a witty approach to words. He has worked on advertising campaigns and posters for clients such as The Economist, the British Library and London Underground. He regularly collaborates with musicians and animators to make films, music promos and animations, using his distinctive visual vocabulary and passion for fusing sound and image. His installations and 3-D work have been commissioned by Colette in Paris and The Design Museum in London among others.
Printmaking is an important part of Burrill’s practice and he creates limited edition prints with slogans including “Work Hard and Be Nice to People” that have become mantras for the design community and beyond. Burrill has also taken part in group and solo exhibitions around the world – from London’s Kemistry Gallery to the Graphic Design Museum at Breda - and lectured and led workshops at numerous design events and educational institutions. Burrill was born in Littleborough, Lancashire. After studying Graphic Design at Leeds Polytechnic he completed an MA in Graphic Design at the Royal College of Art, London. He now lives and works on the Isle of Oxney, Kent.'

b3- About Typographic Circle
Circular magazine
Extract taken from Typo Circle:
The Typographic Circle was formed in 1976 to bring together anyone with an interest in type and typography. We are a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers. We stage a variety of type and typography related events including a series of diverse monthly lectures by well-known industry speakers, and the annual New York Type Directors Club exhibition. Previous speakers have included Trevor Beattie, Stefan Sagmeister, Carlos Segura, Jonathan Barnbrook, Fred Flade, Made Thought, Anthony Burrill, Rick Poyner, Mark Denton… the list goes on. Besides being serious about type, we're a very sociable organisation with a reputation for staging enjoyable events. We try hard not to come across as being stuffy or elitist. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in type and typography, and there are no entry examinations.
