Two typographers, Pierre & Damien of please let me design, joined together with pro racecar driver Stef van Campenhoudt to create what I assume to be the first font ever created with a car. The car’s movements were tracked by an overhead camera system and internal sensors in the car with custom software designed by interactive artist Zachary Lieberman of openFrameworks.
Here’s the video of the font being made below.

If you want to check out some behind the scenes footage of the making of this font, check out this Flickr photoset which gives you a better idea of how large the space is that they were working in.
Not quite satisfied? Why not download the font for free at the Toyota website?

Turn the lights on and off at The Big Picture

The Big Picture’s entry today is notable because it contains interactive images that show before and after shots of worldwide locations that participated in Earth Hour. It’s fun to click the images and see the lights fade slowly and back again. This is by far one of the better posts from The Big Picture.
