Moleskine Helvetica Edition!

Behold the most perfect Moleskine in existence! Most of you know about my infatuation with Moleskines and Helvetica. When I found out that the two had been merged into one piece of perfection, I immediately wanted one! Fellow reader Lauryn just answered my wishes and sent one over! Amazing.

These limited edition Moleskines were produced by the Helvetica Project especially for an exhibit at LaForet in Harajuku where a temporary “Helvetica Shop” selling products related to the font was set up.

It goes without saying that I will not be using this. It’s my version of the bible and is way to sacred to be written in by a mere mortal! I’m serious.

I love you so much.

» Nubby said: { Dec 21, 2008 - 11:12:16 }

Gala: Guess what? All I can think about is our birthday party! Which must make me totally nuts considering that it’s over 9 months away! Ahh, can’t wait to see you in Feb. or March!!!

» Leanne said: { Dec 21, 2008 - 11:12:25 }

OOOO a Helvetica Moleskine edition?!!! How divine!!!

» Hannahbelle said: { Dec 22, 2008 - 02:12:07 }

Oh wow, red, helvetica, moleskine *and* a swiss cross?! It’s like they knew!!
*shifty eyes*

» Vixel said: { Dec 22, 2008 - 02:12:43 }

That is absolutely gorgeous! I’m rather jealous, and I don’t think I could bring myself to actually write in it either!

» Princess Poochie said: { Dec 22, 2008 - 06:12:58 }

When I saw Star’s I immedietly thought you would love it. I am so jealous! I was dying for one too.

» Desiree Fawn said: { Dec 22, 2008 - 08:12:46 }

Gorgeous. I keep seeing this around & LOVE it!

» Auntie Nubs said: { Dec 22, 2008 - 09:12:57 }

I love this! I want one, too!

» gina marr said: { Dec 22, 2008 - 10:12:09 }

I saw this on Star’s blog and was just amazed. its really beautiful, super jealous!

» Lauryn said: { Dec 22, 2008 - 10:12:04 }

I’m so glad you received it so quickly! I can’t even bring myself to take mine out of the packaging let alone write in it. I feel like it has to be filled with something brilliant!

» eleanor said: { Dec 22, 2008 - 11:12:59 }

nubby those glasses are totes gorg in 2 posts below this one. you NEED to wear them more.

whats so fab about moleskins? im just wondering b/c u & gala rave about them.

also how do you make your words all nice & bold like you do under ur pix?

what about making them where you click on the word & then it sends you to the link?

ie: “click HERE and purch the merch!” then you click on the word “HERE” & it sends you to the link. *thanks http://www.fredflare.com for the awesomeness quote.*

» Nubby said: { Dec 22, 2008 - 02:12:17 }

Hannahbelle: I know!!! It’s truly amazing.

Lauryn: I am forever grateful for your generosity. This is like the best gift EVER.

eleanor: Moleskines have nice paper, a secret pocket in the back and I am a huge fan of their daily planners. They also come in tons of styles and sizes with all different papers. The gray words are image links that I make in PS. And, any HTML tutorial can teach you the basics with linking pictures, etc.

» eleanor said: { Dec 22, 2008 - 04:12:59 }

thanks nubby. i think i will check out the moleskin. they seem very nice & i was just wondering about them. i have a planner but i like almost never look @ it. & thanks for the other stuff too. :)

» Jen said: { Dec 22, 2008 - 05:12:02 }

I felt the same way about it, so I ended up buying two; one to keep and one to use.

» Lara said: { Dec 23, 2008 - 01:12:00 }

Love it! Have you seen this t-shirt available at Threadless? My bf got it for me for xmas! I’m so excited!

» Nubby said: { Dec 23, 2008 - 08:12:35 }

Lara: That shirt is AMAZING. Thanks for the link!

» morgan said: { Dec 23, 2008 - 11:12:22 }

I think my little internet crush on you just doubled.
+ of course I now must have one, too.

» Bunny said: { Dec 23, 2008 - 01:12:05 }

How does it look on the inside?

» Nubby said: { Dec 23, 2008 - 04:12:31 }

Bunny: It’s actually just plain ruled sheets with Helvetica-related information printed on the insides of the front and back covers.

» Elizabeth said: { Dec 29, 2008 - 09:12:23 }

I just got my daily planner. This may seem like a silly question, but do you write in pencil or ink. It just seemed that the ink was bleeding through. If you use ink, what type of pen do you use?

» Nubby said: { Dec 30, 2008 - 02:12:56 }

Elizabeth: I just use a regular ballpoint pen. No particular brand.

» Josef said: { Feb 8, 2009 - 09:02:28 }

Absolutely stunning. Perfectly suited for type design sketches.

» James Gill said: { Feb 8, 2009 - 10:02:39 }

So, wait, you mean these aren’t available for sale anymore?!

I want one of these more than ANYthing else right now. Where on earth can I get one?!!!

If anyone happens to have bought one from the exhibition and doesn’t like it anymore, I reckon there’s one or two people here who’ll be happy to take it off your hands…

These should so go into production on a slightly larger scale.

Helvetica on Red is the new black.

» Eric said: { Feb 8, 2009 - 04:02:52 }

I’m practically weeping inside because I can’t find these for sale anywhere online. Neither the US nor international Moleskine sites have any info on them.

» Nubby said: { Feb 9, 2009 - 09:02:47 }

James Gill: I tihnk they were a limited release, just for the Japanese exhibition. Sorry I don’t have any more info, mne was a gift from someone else.

» Andrea said: { Feb 9, 2009 - 10:02:51 }

As a long time lover of all things red and moleskine, as well as gorgeous swiss and typographic, this has to be the pinacle! My jealousy is consuming me. Woe is me, stuck in a small town, an obscure part of the design world.

» Gary Lonergan said: { Feb 9, 2009 - 10:02:19 }

Helvetica in all its manifestations is to be detested – a notebook bought in order to be kept and admired is a waste of resources – type can be designed anywhere – Martin Majoor famously designed Seria on a napkin

» Antonio said: { Feb 9, 2009 - 12:02:37 }

Wow, this is amazing. I must have one. Anyone know where I can get it? I’ll pay, no problem!

» Fubiz said: { Feb 9, 2009 - 06:02:07 }

Amazing !

archie: Thanks so much for the info, I really appreciate it!

» Andrew.Damen said: { Feb 12, 2009 - 10:02:43 }

» Nubby said: { Feb 16, 2009 - 06:02:30 }

Abhishek: Try http://www.moleskineasia.com for black Helvetica Moleskines. Last time I checked, they still had some left!

» Mikko said: { Feb 18, 2009 - 08:02:10 }

I ordered my piece(RED) yesterday 17.2 from moleskineasia, and today came the shipping info :)

» nnanuel said: { Feb 18, 2009 - 03:02:41 }

i hope that the font used for the pages of the calendar is also helvetica. usually they use rotis, which looks terrible!

» kat said: { Feb 18, 2009 - 10:02:32 }

haha you made the “Fool” list in TwoThousand

» Nubby said: { Feb 18, 2009 - 11:02:24 }

That’s the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen…

*Wipes away a tear.*

I would tell crackhead where my grandmother keeps her jewelry to get my hands on that. Seriously. That thing is making my geek-engine redline.
