Geogrotesque Stencil | Emtype Foundry Geogrotesque Stencil is the newest member of the popular Geogrotesque family, it has been thought as a display typeface, but it goes one step further and tries to solve some of the typical problems of stencils fonts. Most stencil fonts don't have a wide range of weights, Geogrotesque Stencil has a range of 7 weights. Another characteristic of this type of fonts is that the cut usually does not adapt well to the size or the use of different materials, generally it has a wide cut that works well in small sizes but in larger sizes is not very elegant, on the other hand a thin cut does not work in small sizes and affects the reading. Geogrotesque Stencil tries to solve these problems with 3 levels of cut (A, B and C). The thin cut (version A) matches the stem width of the Thin weight, in version B is twice as wide and in the version C is three times more wide. Distinctions The Oscars of Type 2009, Print magazine FontShop, Top Type of 2009. Slanted, Merkwürdige schriften 2009.

This is not all lie, and yet old-fashioned images have been particularly popular in the past few years. All we do seem to do now is try to recreate the atmosphere of those bygone times anyway. And this is where toy cameras play a role. Photo credit: Pirouetting, by helenannsia How does this apply to modern design? What you can do, though, is use the magic of Photoshop to make your ultra-sharp, high-definition images look like they were taken with one of these cameras. Famous Toy Cameras Toy cameras are cheap, low quality and yet functional. Diana Let’s start where it all began. But the plastic body wasn’t the most interesting part: it was the lens, also made out of plastic. Photo credit: elZekah Photo credit: chomdee Lomo LC-A Photo credit: maaku Photo credit: citronnade
