Thinking with Type

Thinking with Type

Mixing Fonts A palette with wit Use typefaces with complementary moods to evoke an upbeat, energetic air. It’s the interplay between fonts that gives them energy. The more distant the moods in a typographic palette, the friskier the design will be. Here, three fonts with distinctive silhouettes have been chosen for their contrasting dispositions: the unabashed toughness of Tungsten is a foil for both Archer’s sweetness, and the cheekiness of Gotham Rounded.  Tungsten  Gotham Rounded  Archer A palette with energy Mix typefaces from the same historical period whose families have different features. Three type families with nineteenth century roots, thrown together in a cheerful typographic riot.  Proteus Project  Knockout  Sentinel A palette with poise Mix typefaces with a similar line quality if they offer different textures. What do a neoclassical modern, a suave sans serif, and a sporty slab have in common?  HTF Didot  Verlag  Vitesse A palette with dignity  Mercury Text  Hoefler Titling  Gotham

The Ministry of Type I Love Typography TypeRadio December 2013, Typeradio held a two day workshop in cooperation with Indra Kupferschmid and 10 students of the Hochschule der Bildenden Künste (HBK Saar) in Saarbrücken, Germany. Each student was assigned a typeface, designed by a Dutch designer, along with the assignment: ‘translate the typeface into a one minute sound piece’.
 The resulting 10 sound pieces were the starting point of another workshop, in collaboration with Jan Willem Stas and the students of the Type]Media 2014 typography master coarse in The Hague, The Netherlands. Each T]M student was handed an (anonymously labelled) sound piece and their challenge was to ‘create a typeface concept inspired by the sound’. 1) Original typeface: Neutral by Kai Bernau 2) Sound piece by Maria Sieradzki 3) Chinese whispered typeface by James Taylor Edmondson At first James thought the audio piece sounded like a combination of water, air, and electricity.
