“LL Circular is a new take on a classic genre, first explored by Paul Rennerʼs Futura (1927-28). In the process of developing the font, the purely geometric approach gave way to more complex formal conception, resulting in a geometric sans serif marrying purity with warmth. Striking a balance between functionality, conceptual rigour, skilled workmanship and measured idiosyncrasy, LL Circular is a friendly sans serif text font with unmistakeable character yet universal appeal.” — Lineto (designed 2005 - 2013) #better #feel #well #lineto #laurenz #brunner #spotify #graphicdesign #typography #creativeworks #typedesign #amsterdam #instafont #lovefortype #fontoftheweek #layout #font #typeface #art #creative #quote #words

Inspired by a few letters in a hand-drawn logotype, Swashington is a serif font with both an early 20th Century feel and yet is evocative of the swash fonts of the 1970s as well. The real meat of this typeface comes with using all the swash and ligature variants allowing for an enormous amount of typographic flair. Starting with the original logo, Jason Walcott was moved to develop these interesting letterforms into a full typeface with all the swashy might he could muster. #minutes #hour #lastminute #last #his #swash #swashington #flair #ligature #walcott #graphicdesign #typography #creativeworks #typedesign #amsterdam #instafont #lovefortype #fontoftheweek #layout #font #typeface #art #creative #quote #words #suprime

Galliard was originally designed for Mergenthaler #Linotype in 1978 as a photocomposition #typeface. It is modeled on the work of Robert Granjon, a sixteenth-century #punchcutter whose typefaces are renowned for their #beauty and #legibility. ITC Galliard is a notable typeface for #text; the italic is very distinctive in occasional pieces such as #invitations and #informal #announcements. #typography #logo #fashion #art #display #type #serif #sharp #sausage #amsterdam #editorial #well #creativeworks #instafont #instatype #fontoftheweek #instaword #editorial #bold #black
