  2. What font is this, please? (finess)

    Kevin Thompson replied to João Pedro Barreto's question in Font Identification

    Everything but the first f (and the phone number, obviously) are Alex Brush, a Google web font. The f appears to be Candlescript Pro with a custom/beefed up crossbar.....

  3. Web Typography

    Ralf Herrmann posted a directory entry in Typography Books

    Typography is what comes between the author and the reader. This is as true on the web as it is in any other medium. If a text has anything at all significant to say, it needs a typographer’s care, which will in turn be repaid by the reader’s attention. If you design websites or use CSS then you are a typographer whether you know it or not. This book is a practical guide and companion reference to all aspects of typography on the web. It deftly combines implement­ation details with typographic theory, and is ideal for designers, developers and anyone else involved in the process of creating a website. The book is available ebook and paperback book.

  13. Geometric Display Type Design

    d0nev replied to d0nev's topic in Talk

    Interestingly, I did the letters from scratch. I drew basic geometric shapes that I've connected/joined. S and G were the biggest problems for me. When I do half circles for S, it looks like some item from a Sci-Fi movie/game, I might need to give it a second thought. For the numbers, which we don't really need actually but it would be nice to have, I've used regular font (Futura) and filled the counters and then modified the vectors a bit. I know it is lazy a bit. Maybe I can try to improve them. Thanks for the feedback Ralph, much appreciated.

  16. Geometric Display Type Design

    Ralf Herrmann replied to d0nev's topic in Talk

    And regarding the design: It’s fine for this type of font, but in my opinion there is room for improvement regarding the consistency of the pieces. It looks like it started with a regular font and then counters were filled – instead of designing it from simplified pieces outwards. You could take simple geometric shapes and start with that. Just one example: cutting a circle in half gives you two geometric shapes to create a better S design. And those pieces could then be reused in other glyphs such as the figure 3 …

    Dear Typography Guru - Could you please help me figure out the fonts for the Island Lodge Logo? Your help is much appreciated. Thank you!
  23. Hand-lettered, and I don't think based on a particular font. Notice the trapping too, indicative of a professional graphics person.

  31. Geometric Display Type Design

    d0nev posted a topic in Talk

    Hello everyone, I have been designing a custom typeface that I intend to use for a branding. The typeface would be used only internally and would not be sold or distributed in any way. The goal is to have letters (that are not too obvious) from solid filled basic geometric shapes like circles, triangles, rectangles etc. I only need capital letters but then I thought numbers might come handy. Overall I am happy with the look of the letters but the numbers can be improved as some look out of place. Some feedback would be really appreciated. I have attached Illustrator screen grab. I intend to import the letters in Glyphs and tweak them there. This is my first attempt to create type in some form... In the past, I have created custom letters for branding but never full alphabet. P.S. I am not sure why I am not allowed to create posts in the type design forum even though I am a member. Therefore I will post here and the admins can move it in the right section.
