Studio Stuff, Vol 07
-
We jumped on these Soundsticks the minute released them in 2000. The sound was great and they were just too cool on display. We used them until they died, about 12 years later. Then they went to the basement to await their fate. Years later my son was visiting and he decide to plug them in. Much to our surprise, they worked! Perfectly! They are now the primary source of tunes in the studio to this day (mostly ).

Until they die. Again.

Studio Stuff, Vol 06

We’ve always been especially fond of Asian calligraphy—all of it: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, even Cambodian, which is really unique. We found these when we were setting up our last brick-and-mortar office space back in 2003 after leaving . Love 'em to this day.

I got this waxed canvas wallet c.2005 when I was . There was a newly-opened shop near the office in Soho that I just loved popping into.

This fella’s 20 years old now (that's nearly 80 in people years) and showing its age for sure. Fact is it's been mostly replaced by one of those magnetic deals that snaps onto the back of my iPhone. All that said, I’d bet Andy Spade would love how lived-in this guy looks—just like the old shop on Greene Street. (Note: despite the label, the shop was not on Warren Street).

We’re always looking at new typefaces for new projects. (It’s kind of an addiction). So we’ve decided to share the wealth and help promote type designers we think are doing excellent work.

The text in the example is our studio tagline, fwiw. Enjoy!
