Amazing Typography















These are examples of really inspiring graphics and use of typography. They are all very modern, but still have the maturity of older more authentic fonts. These images are also taken from the book 'Type-One' which is really useful because it gives a little paragraph saying what the brief was and the solution they came up with. They also mention the idea behind the type, which I find interesting because they may be able to show me what steps to take in the future when making a typeface.

What stands out to me is the way that they refer to graphic design as a problem and that you have to come up with a solution. I've heard it being describe like this before but never really understood the comparison. Looking at briefs in the simple form, I suppose it makes sense. Need to do more briefs to have a better opinion on it.

In regards to the typefaces they all seem to have a really good flow to them, were as typefaces I'v made in the past have sometimes been to blocky and heavy, which makes people read it uncomfortably. Im going to make another typeface using the things I'v learn from these examples.
