Israeli designer Hilla Shamia’s Wood & Aluminum cast furniture is amazing, combining the natural logs with the mechanical aluminum in a single casting. The burnt edges where the molten metal hits the wood, working its way into the cracks, gives the pieces an additional dimension.

Pitch, a beautiful new font from the talented type designers at Klim Type Foundry, is inspired by the mechanical type of the past and melted together with the digital type of the future. Pitch pulls 3 main characteristics from typewritten fonts: monospacing, type styles, and the artifacts of metal struck paper. Klim has a brilliant write up, About Pitch, laying out the thought process that went into making it. Its well worth the read if you like this typeface.
You can purchase Pitch over on Village’s website. $300 for all five weights is a great deal for such a beautiful typeface. Be sure to check out Klim’s other great type, Metric, National, & Newzald.
