Pirating fonts is an ethical grey area, everyone does it, so I just try and offset it by buying a nice face once in a while. Here’s a few I found from House (which are always hell $$) when searching for some Ed Roth vectors.
Bookman is back! It’s been sleeping for the last 30 odd years, but you can find it in boutique fashion zines and organic alchemists near you!
Lost world-fairs looks like a vehicle for type kit’s emerging presence on the web. So so so refreshing to see this look on a webpage and you know it would look mad on an ipad. I used this snapshot cos it’s 100% editorial design: the stacked fonts complementing each other, the holding shapes… So hopefully in the near future being able to design a printed page will be the same as a digital one (style not function wise).
Also good to see scrolls being used in the year 2040!
and again over at the Extraordinaries. BTW THE LAST SCROLL I WILL EVER POST IS COMING UP, im so sick of seeing them everywhere and writing about them.
Rad new font from the man behind Sudtipos, Ale Paul, the latin king of script fonts. It’s called ‘FAN SCRIPT’ and I don’t think it’s out for commercial use yet. It’s basically a modern, flamboyant sports script.
Always trying to predict the next big thing, especially in terms of fonts. I thought stencil would get big but i don’t think thats going to happen. I’m putting money on this style of Giza, I saw it in the Nike showroom in Harajuku on shoe labels, but I think Non-Format have something to do with it. This will be my main display font for Issue 5.
This is the font used in Dazed and Confused. Looks like a custom job that came along with the rebrand.
Noticed that the U.S GQ uses Mr Eaves for their feature articles. It’s the sans version of Mrs. Eaves (a Baskerville modernisation) by those guys down at Emigre. I like it, and wish I could get my hands on it.. but it’s not that easy (or cheap). Neutraface text bold italic does a similar job, but it’s a bit more plain.
