CP Mono fell into my sights a few months back whilst purposefully looking for a reasonably stylish mono spaced font for a new project. I try to avoid the many free font websites due to the sheer volume of dodgy and overused quantities of free fonts. Being a freelance logo designer, finding quality and unique ‘free’ fonts can be a struggle. Whilst there are 1000′s available, many are poor in quality and feel. Finding those ‘special’ free and open-source fonts is something of a past-time for me.

Logarde Thin is a sassy font that I stumbled upon on Behancé a while ago. Being a freelance logo designer, finding quality and unique ‘free’ fonts can be a struggle. Whilst there are 1000′s available, many are poor in quality and feel. Finding those ‘special’ free and open-source fonts is something of a past-time for me.

I have been eagerly awaiting this awesome beast since I first saw the initial posts about it on Aisle One some time ago. For heavens sake, a typographic skateboard! This is just as good as it get’s for a typo fiend such as myself.

Always one to look out for inspiring and original logo designs, I have been a wondering around the interweb in search of a fresh supply of logo designs. Logo design is what I do and I have wanted to put together a series of logo designs of my own choosing but without using the ‘usual suspects’ from the ‘usual sources’.

Chunk is an ultra-bold slab serif typeface that is reminiscent of old American Western woodcuts, broadsides, and newspaper headlines. Used mainly for display, the fat block lettering is unreserved yet refined for contemporary use.

Some of you may be aware that over the last few months I have been getting restless with my own logo for ImJustCreative. I have been posting various ideas here and there as they pop into my head. As I am sure I am not the only one, designing a logo for yourself can be somewhat tricky at best. Being mostly a logo designer then there seems to be a little more pressure to pull something neato out of the bag. What’s all that about anywho?

Whilst creating a new logo, I came up with a mad idea to create a new font. First time I have ever done so and frankly, I feel lame even calling it a font because it’s far far from being one. A font that is. The logo name is called Prone’, so taking the prone meaning literally, I decided to play around with some pretty shapes to create a custom and truly unique and utterly experimental ‘font’.

Nice to spend a few hours on a Friday afternoon playing around with some personal design projects. Felt like doing something Helvetica and typographic again. Oh my, what a surprise.

There is a universal confusion over the (anally) correct way to refer to the letters, characters, shapes, bitmaps, vectors we associate as being words. Frankly, does it really matter? Well, yes and no. It’s not like the simple difference between VHS and Betamax.

Neighbourhood Typeface. Andy Chung took the Neighbourhood font as a challenge to create something that had the graphic expression of a display face while still maintaining some of the functionality of a text face.

Just a stroke of luck yesterday whilst checking out a whole load of links from various websites I had come across. Ended up on the http://www.campivisivi.net/ website which lead to the discovery of this Titillium Open Source font for download.

After the release of the Thank F**k For Helvetica-Max Mieding Typography Poster yesterday, here is part 2, a tribute to the man actually behind the idea of Helvetica. The first poster a tribute to the man mostly responsible for the crafting of the letterforms for Helvetica.

So many personal celebratory typographic posters out there for Helvetica, felt the need to create my own celebratory poster, with my own words of wisdom. With a specific mention to Max Miedinger.
