Member Ell… Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hi! I've recently noticed a trend in typography that has distinctively playful shapes and thick/thin contrast (see attached image for example, this is 'Blackest' by Zetafonts). I was wondering if you know of any similar typefaces. This style is super appealing to me and always catches my attention. Also wondering if this type of font design or its characteristics have any particular name, other than 'display'. Thanks for your time and have a fun day! -Ella 🙂 Link to comment
Ralf Herrmann Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Not sure if that’s what you meant, but one of the defining characteristics of that sample is called reversed contrast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse-contrast_typefaces https://www.myfonts.com/search/tag%3A"reverse+contrast"/fonts/ 1 Link to comment
