Typodarium 2015 is a typography calendar design enthusiasts will love. Compiled by Verlag Hermann Schmidt Mainz, the calendar consists of a variety of typefaces created by 223 different designers from 156 foundries around the globe. Not unlike a word of the day calendar or something similar, Typodarium has a tear-off component where every day features a new typeface. The front page showcases the font, where as the back offers a more detailed description.
Inspired by old school date keepers, the typography calendar offers a daily source of inspiration for creative types, as well as "the chance to broaden our knowledge, to discover the font’s history and development, to possess a piece of jewelry that is new everyday." The vivid pink and yellow color scheme will also serve to add a little brightness to your day.
