Hard to ignore the beautiful hand-lettered alphabet created by Cleveland-based freelance illustrator and designer, Nicholas Matej. The letters and numbers are his contribution to the 36 Days of Type project. His work is influenced by nostalgia, craft and the desire to push the limits of his own creativity through new ideas. More of his work can be seen on his website, Instagram, Behance and Dribble. Some of his designs can be purchased on Big Cartel and on Etsy.

We are loving the elegant illustrations of Paris-based artist Tom Haugomat. There is a real sophistication in his work with amazing compositions, simple color palette, and an excellent use of negative space. Lack of space does not allow us to post more on this blog but you can view much of his work on Tumblr, Instagram, Behance and on Handsome Frank, his art agency.
