Future Trash

Friday, October 19th, 2007

I am totally flabbergasted by Scott Teplin’s architectural typography (or is that typographical architecture ?) at Future Trash. His work is immensely detailed and researched (as the numerous sketches and experiments on his blog show), and he uses the cavalière perspective in an amazingly creative way. For more of his work, visit teplin.com.
