To start talking about typography, the first thing should be mentioned I think is Helvetica. "Best Fonts of All Time". It has been recognised as the most magic sans-serif typeface, world-widely used for anything...especially it is a popular choice for commercial
wordmarks and everytime when you stucked with typeface, people always say... Helvetica.
Helvetica robort poster.
Later in 1982, some non-specialists designed really similar font with Helvetica—Arial. There are only some few differents details. Helvetica's strokes are typically cut either horizontally or vertically.
Personally, I do feel that Arial is more comfortable-look in glyphs R and t. The tail of the Arial R glyph is straightly lean to one side, likes you can straight your legs in an plane seat, that's more comfortable, isn't it. And the t, tilted cut at the top, makes it more flexible.
While we were doing the research of phobias, I found this meaninful the well designed fonts of fear. "The Book of Fears: Phobias from A to Z represents an alphabetical book showcasing typographic designs using the typeface Museo—created by Jos Buivenga of exljbris Font Foundry."
This T is most brilliant design one of the entire book I think. He breaks the leg of T and rotate it 90 degree, turn it to number 13.
Took me a while to see how it was a 'T', but I get it now.
ReplyDeleteI saw a B at first, like a stencil font type of B haha.
It makes me confusd at first, either. But when you figure it out, you will realize how creative it is.
