Awesome type spec for Buffon
Not all type designers excel at graphic design and sadly many fantastic font releases aren’t published with the inspiring example specs they deserve, instead they must wait for their buyers to use them in imaginative ways.
The new typeface, Buffon has no issue in this area and superbly demonstrates its eccentric, reverse stress design with these eye-catching graphics. The family of three weights is the first release by The Australian Graphic Supply Co., a design studio run by husband and wife team, Dave & Laura Coleman.
The awesome gif animation above is by Fraser Davidson who also made this animated short featuring Buffon.
You can pay what you want for Buffon (for personal use) over on Lost Type. I’m looking forward to seeing more head-turning releases in the future.
