Kat Ran Press has put up a wonderful online exhibit of postage stamps designed by well known type designers. All are tiny beautiful examples of typography and calligraphy and lettering as well as designing within a constrained space. Along with pictures of the stamps, they’ve included a bit about the designer and his fonts.
The exhibit is in support of a book Kat Ran published, Designing the Mentoring Stamp, about Lance Hindy’s process in design a US postage stamp. To the left is a stamp from the exhibit, a German one from 1953 to celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the Gutenburg Bible and designed by Walter Brudi.
