What the FFF?

Founded in 2005 by an ever growing group of young designers and vagabonds eager to collect and share the best design work they came across, FormFiftyFive soon became an international showcase of creative work.

Although the site was doing a great job at sparking creativity, we felt it could, and should, be even bigger and better. So we spent many moons working on a brand new FormFiftyFive, still high in eye (and brain) candy, but with a brand new look and lots of new features that dig even deeper into what’s happening in the design community.

We’ve also added more interactive elements on the site so people can exchange and store ideas more easily, encouraging collaboration and making the site more than just another design blog.

So have a look round, if you see something you love or hate be sure to comment, and drop us a line if there’s a juicy bit of creative gold you’d like to see on here.

Keep it real, the FFF team.

Beautiful bookcovers by Klas Ernflo. It’s a shame that these were seemingly rejected by the client. I’d certainly buy them!

  2. Dude, I’ve been trying to find it as well. Seeing it around loads at the moment but can’t quite figure out what it is. I think it might be Didot? He might have tweaked it slightly?

  7. There’s Modern 2016 which has a bold, but don’t think that’s quite right either. Could try what the font.

  8. Cheers Emma, might give WTF a go. Can’t find a sample of 2016 though? Do you have a link?

    By the way, wasn’t ignoring you! Couldn’t find your email address for ages. Do you still want to get involved in FFF? :)

  9. Sorry, typo it’s Modern 216. Not sure what one Sean was referring to, there are quite a few similar-ish moderns. Here’s a link anyway—

    Yeah that’d be cool, cheers!
