These amazing sculptural forms that reference nature, anatomy and terrain are by artist Crystal Wagner.

I am interested in the intersections between synthetic and organic, real and unreal, abstract and concrete and in that way am intrigued by the forms and concepts associated with Utopia. – (From Wagner's artist statement.)

Rick Banks, graphic designer behind Face37 has created a follow-up to his impressive Type Trump deck that I was lucky enough to get my hands on a couple years ago.

Type Trumps, a play on Top Trumps, uses figures to enable the cards to be won or lost using some of the tried and tested ‘Top Trumps’ rules. The Type Trumps have a ‘ranking’, which is a subjectively ascribed positional value based on Banks’ personal favourites.  Each card also features statistics for each font including: foundry information, designer, design date, special power and more.
