This week I feature friends here on BETTER taste THAN sorry. Yesterday I promoted Placescore, today it’s Typoguide. Ben Lehnert, one of the 6Wunderkinder, started this project already some weeks ago.

Do you remember this interview with Eike König from winter 2009? That was awesome! And here is one more. 9 minutes and 37 seconds of pure inspiration. Eike talks about the way he works: “have fun, feel safe, play, be creative, learn new things, surprise – like kids.“ His way of looking at “playful design” and […]
