We celebrated Type Tasting’s first birthday with a day of edible type on Friday 14th February. Here’s a selection of the gastronomic typography and lettering created to mark the occasion.
Above: Nathan Dye’s chocolate TYPE cake, Helen Rawlinson’s peas thawing to the occasion, Sarah Hyndman’s edible rye bread Blackletter type “delicious with hummus” and Julie Muaro’s JOY in Breakfast Light, Regular & Extra Jam.
Graphic Designer Karina Monger created a feast of letters and served up a ‘Happy Valentype Day’ banquet for #EdibleTypeFriday to celebrate Type Tasting’s first birthday.
A delicious series of typographic cookies and sweets made by Andreja Brulc and inspired by the ‘besos’ pan dulce eaten in Mexico on Valentine’s Day. “I made ‘love and kisses in five languages: English, Spanish, Slovene, Italian and German” she explains.
Edible Type Friday on Feb 14th
To celebrate Type Tasting’s first birthday you’re invited to share your love of typography by taking edible type to work. Please photograph it before (or while) it’s being eaten.
Tweet your photos to @TypeTasting with #ILoveType
Or email them to sarah@typetasting.com and I’ll blog the photos next week.
It would also be great to see any ‘making of’ photos if you bake or create the type yourself. Cake? Jelly? Sweets from the local sweetshop? …What would a font taste like?
