Thomas de Bruin :: Google Earth Alphabet

Filed under: Environment,Typography — Tags: Google Earth Alphabet, Thomas de Bruin — Ansel @ 3:54 pm August 10, 2010

Google Earth is more than a tool for checking out your neighbours geraniums. In the hands of Dutch designer Thomas de Bruin it’s a tool for developing a full font set – including capitals, lower case, numbers and punctuation – from locations all over the Netherlands.

Our Junior Art Director Jade reckoned it took him ‘like, for ever’ to find the whole font set. Apparently though it took him ‘about a week’, which makes it even more of an achievement. Type-nerds tip your caps please.
