Let’s start the day with the letter A. There is no better place to begin our first design love post then with the very beginning of the alphabet.

The Color of The Letter A

We all know that A is for Apples. And since red is the color of beginnings—beginnings of rainbows or crayola crayon boxes for instance—it seemed to be the perfect choice for our first post.

Pantone 032, reminiscent of a bright red Honey Crisp apple, is the official color of The Letter A.

The Typeface of The Letter A

Boton’s straightforward letterforms and chunky slab-serifs, developed by the illustrious French type designer Albert Boton in 1986, bring us back to our days of learning the ABC’s in grade school.

A is for Apples
B is for Boton
C is for c-ya next time!
