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.

I have the Ringier Annual Report sitting on my desk and along with the pretty immense charts in there I always liked the typeface. I noticed on Lineto’s website they are considering re-printing the Akkurat Specimen pack if enough people show interest, would love to get hold of one of those!

Okay, so that’s three of us that want one. I wonder if that’s enough…
If anyone else wants one, click here (< there) and send them an email to show your interest in getting a second revised and extended edition.
