The basic principle behind Type Idea Index is simple: ideas breed ideas.

You'll find yourself face-to-face with 650+ custom-created, idea-sparking examples of typography and type-intensive design. For maximum user-friendliness, these samples are organized according to the theme they express (Energy, Elegance, Order, Rebellion) and the sort of real-world application they relate to (initials, monograms, logos, headlines, paragraphs).
Expand your knowledge of type and brainstorm for ideas every time you design with letters and words.
