This month’s Dwell magazine contains a review of Blue Monday.
Thanks everyone! I have Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit now and am looking forward to reading it and seeing how it inspired the reviewer to compare the two.

Over at Candyland, Brayan reflects on architecture, estrangement, effect, and in doing so mentions AUDC’s method of working.
Absolutely on the mark. I’m amazed to see us compared to the juxtaposition of Baroque and ultra-modern at the end of 2001, but honored too… It’s always been a model to live up to.
Section
Time for yet another gratuitous post to plug Blue Monday. This go around, since some of you have asked about the typeface, I thought I should post a link to Section, a typeface designed by Greg Lindy of the Village Collective. Although ACTAR chose the face, it seems rather apt, given that AUDC’s base at the time was L. A.:
Section was designed specifically as the identity font for Intersection
Studio, a multidisciplinary design firm in Los Angeles. The goal was
to create a flexible, yet distinctive and legible font. Section’s
application involved everything from business forms to collateral
material. This font was a key element in establishing the Intersection
Studio brand. It is suitable for text as well as display. Eurostile and
News gothic served as reference in the creation of Section.
