I just came a cross this re-brand / logo / identity design for the one and only Calvin Harris… As I normally say, the simpler the better when it comes to logotypes, I think Paul Hutchinson out of LA (USA) did a superb job! The new logo and identity design was commissioned though Vincent Haycock Studio… Check out more here!
Just released to the public a short while ago, I’ve been seeing this gem pop up on ads everywhere, and why not; this is a really killer display typeface. As the designer, Neil Summerour puts it “… it’s a little Scotch Modern, a little Didone and Didot, a dominant dose of Caslon, and a pinch of Baskerville. A confident, self-reliant typeface that shows just enough to keeping everyone staring and leave them wanting more.” I really couldn’t agree more!
This face contains almost a demure contrast mixed with the flowing curves of a woman’s body, incomplete, almost teasing ball terminals, and serifs that just go on forever… so sharp they would draw blood if you touched them.
Dino Dos Santos captured the best of both worlds in this extraordinary typeface. Really, just look at the printed pages and you’ll see, this face is not like Esta or Georgia, etc. With the originality, most noticeably stated in the “k’s” and cursive “g’s”, it’s NYTE, designed specifically for the New York Times Magazine.
I love how the italics jump off the page like it’s a script face at 10.0 points or 64 points and above. No matter what point size, It’s awesome! Biggups to NYT and the DSType Foundry for making this one freely available to the public.
One of my favorite foundries at the moment, pushing out awesome designs, Latinotype is a new digital type foundry established in the year 2007 in the city of Concepción, Chile. Their goal is to design new typefaces remixing diverse influences related to our South American identity (most often known as “latino”) with high quality products for the contemporary design industry.
I ran across this awesome article on 99designs and thought they really did an awesome job, so I had to share it with you… If you don’t know who Saul Bass was, he was a legendary designer who’s designed some of the most timeless designs for some of the largest brands ever. Think ATT, Girl Scouts, Keeenex, and the list goes on….
I saw this font about a month back and loved it immediately, when someone I’ve been following for a while, Wete out of Barcelona, posted it on his Behance account. Joan Ramon Pastor did a superb job with Alexander Grotesk mixing some of the most significant features from the uber-famous DIN and Avant Garde faces. As soon as it was available, I grabbed it! I highly suggest you do the same… just $10 over at tendollarfonts. Enjoy!
