Member Woo… Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Hi everybody, The Municipality of the city where I live has installed giant letters on a square to stimulate its attractiveness. I find their shapes quite strange, but I am not an expert. And you what is your opinion about this typography? Thank you for your answers Woody Link to comment
Ralf Herrmann Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I don’t see much problems with it to be honest. In this kind of “display use” context, I prefer a unique look over a bland/overused typeface. They could have used Arial. That would have been bad. 😉 1 1 Link to comment
Member hyv… Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 The first thing I noticed about this lettering is the quirky yet fun and interesting /N. However the letterforms could indeed use some refining, as they have a very constructed appearance (the perfectly-semicircular curves, the spine of /S approaching horizontal) with little optical correction (e.g. the thick join in /B). Another thing that strucks me is how the narrow proportions of /N are compared to /A and the rest. This could be a valid design decision, I'm just not sure that would be my preference. 2 Link to comment
