Pantone Easter eggs

This is a seasonal decoration that only a designer could conceive (or create so flawlessly): Easter eggs that look like Pantone color swatches. The best part is that they're surprisingly simple to make - designer Jessica Jones includes DIY instructions on her blog. A new spring tradition.

Type that's above the fold

Typogami is a font inspired by the Japanese art of origami and kirigami - the glyphs look like they're made from folded paper. Not only that, you can tweak everything from color and fold angles to angle of light and the intensity of shadows. Designer Calango has created an animated version and a static version.

Frustro: The impossible typeface

Inspired by the famous Penrose triangle illusion, Hungarian designer Martzi Hegedűs created Frustro, a highly unconventional sans serif whose characters literally don't line up. In fact, each letterform appears to be facing in two different directions. Whether the font delights you or drives you crazy, there's no denying it makes an eye-catching display face.

A-1 Scrabble designer edition

What began as a student project by designer Andrew Capener has, with the help of HASBRO and Winning Solutions, become a lovely, limited edition typographic Scrabble set. The "A-1 Scrabble designer edition" features solid walnut tiles, an assortment of fonts, six magnetized pieces of walnut that snap together to make the board, and a cork-lined storage drawer. In short, it's pretty fancy.

It's available for pre-order, and each set is signed and numbered. Unfortunately, you still have to use the same old Scrabble dictionary.
