I love everything about the interactive video-test created by the brilliant minds at global design firm Pentagram. I originally found "What Type Are You?" via one of my favorite bloggers, Bobby Solomon at Kitsune Noir (which I check daily). I took the test and receiving the font Archer Hairline as my diagnosis, have come to the conclusion that this little quiz is extremely true and quite intuitive! I won't give too much away because I want you to see for yourselves, but I love the simplicity of the video, as well as the quirkiness of it. It's fairly short, as to not lose your interest, but long enough to make it feel as if you are actually being analyzed. I love the voice and accent of the psychiatrist character, and the background music, and of course the fonts themselves. Upon finishing the test, you can see how popular your given type is, as well as get a summary and history of the design of each type shown. It's definitely one of my favorite things on the internet right now. Enjoy!

I am currently in love these awesome hand-made brass and steel fabric scissors which not only seem super tough, and have that great weight to them, but are super affordable! Only $18 for the 6 inch pair, and $21 for the 9 inch) They also have an antique look which I am often drawn to (probably under the influence of my Mom) when shopping for sewing supplies or tools because it adds to the sort of nostalgic feeling actually doing a craft with your hands.
The scissors are from an online shop called Spartan which I know nothing about because they don't provide an "About" section on the website... but what I do know is that they have a great selection of understated yet interesting jewelry, tools, and housewares (like the vintage Bolivian wool rugs I am also loving). There is also a sister site Bows + Arrows which is an online clothing store, although I don't know which one came first... While Bows + Arrows carries some great brands (A.P.C. Rachel Comey, BillyKirk, Band of Outsiders) and definitely shares a common aesthetic with their other online store, I think I was definitely more impressed with the careful and smart choice of products on Spartan.
