Typodarium 2012 calendar: “The Daily Dose of Typography”

“…Just like the past years the tear-off calendar will offer daily typographic inspiration throughout the whole year of 2012, with 366 typefaces from 252 designers hailing from 32 countries…” —Yves Peters for FontFeed

Back in December 2009, the talented Nancy Harris Rouemy collaborated with Canada Type’s Patrick Griffin to design a special display typeface for use in The New York Times Magazine.

“…the magazine’s design concept revolved around a typeface they created specifically for custom vertical malleability, and that can play just as well in single- or multi-color environments. The result was another iconic commemorative issue that shows exotic tri-line letters merging, swashing, extending and flourishing in stunning gold, silver and blue on black on the cover, and in black on white on the inside pages…”—Patrick Griffin

Crescendo has recently been released as a font available for purchase, including ligatures and alternates.
