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.

For those of you that (like myself) have aimlessly scoured ebay for a full set of beautiful wood type, T26′s Wood Type Impressions DVD containing 262 high-resolution (600-dpi) grayscale TIFF images of a whole variety of typefaces should be a godsend!

This actually looks really cool, sure you could do some amazing work. But seems expensive for a dvd. Would still rather have a real thing.

They are good but a complete ballache to work with.
I would much rather just go get something printed.

I know, I know! I’d much rather have the real thing as well! I’m just saying this is an alternative.

Pretty cool idea since they are made from real wood type, but I agree having the original and doing it yourself makes it way cooler.
I actually just bought some metal type off ebay to experiment with.
