Pentagram 2006 Calendars
For a while now I've used Pentagram's "Classic Typographic" calendars to keep track. I bought one from Ken Knight last year and he has sent us samples of this year's editions.
Each month features a different font with a short explanation of its origins. My birth month July, is in "Premium" while April is playfully rendered in "Dividend". The cover is a composite of the fonts' outlines.
The 2006 Pentagram Calendar 365 Wall/SuperSize 23"x33" Limited Edition
Huge. This should help you remember your appointments in a big way. Large Moleskine sketchbook placed for size comparison.
The 2006 Pentagram Calendar 365 Desk/Wall 12"x18" Limited Edition, with the large sketchbook.
The 2006 Pentagram 365 Calendars, wall and desk/desk versions. Take your pick!

By the way, Hoefler & Frere-Jones, who designed all the typefaces used in this year's calendar, have just published the font collection online at www.typography.com.

Where can I buy these pentagram calendars? Is there a mailing list to be informed when 2007's (8's etc)is ready?
