Lately I have been surfing around vi.sualize.us and last night I was totally inspired by some really sexy use of typography. Since there was so much to show, I have decided to break it up into a few different parts - so stay tuned for some more sexy type! If you have some great examples, shoot them my way and I will try my best to include them in part 2. Hopefully this will inspire you to use type in many different ways.
You can check out Part 2 here.

Without type we could not read, so why not make reading as beautiful as provided in your list of sexy typography! Haas Grotesk is just fabulous! Thanks for creating this list. More type at typeissexy.com..

@Sander You make a very good point, it’s beautiful and I love looking at different typography. Love the Tattoo one.

I love the WINTER Queen combo of all roman caps with the italicized handwriting. It creates two definite moods that somehow meld into one very well. The Belmont type is beautiful – fancy, graceful, but still clear to read.
