Was ist das? Das ist ein TypeSelect!

While googling for something completely unrelatd, I found a real gem. It seems that German designers have a newish tool to help them with picking out typefaces that I hope jumps the pond and heads here to the States for all of us Yankee designers to use when hunting for the perfect fonts. It's called "TypeSelect" and it is basically a Pantone formula guide flip book, except with typefaces -- from a number of foundries -- arranged in color coded sections by styles instead of PMS color families. Be sure to check out Novum's short review. If you don't need to know anymore and are ready to shell out some Euros to make one yours, click over to Amazon's German site to place your order.
