typography

Barcelona-based design studio Lo Siento created this dimensional typography for an exhibition. The letters are constructed on an axis that presents two extrusions of the character, allowing the form to be present from at least two different angles, making it ideal for hanging and displaying.

Italy-based designer, Viktor Matic creates these type and shape-centric fliers for wupwup, an interdisciplinary artist collective. The event fliers are eye-catching without blaring their messages through grandiose type and imagery. Instead, they draw viewers' attention with tight color palettes and well-edited content in great typography.

Recently I was searching for a little texture inspiration for a project, and I stumbled upon the work of Orlando-based Justin Mezzell. His portfolio exemplifies the design / illustration hybrid. His pieces are full of strong Typography, structured layout and intention blended with thoughtful color palettes, great textures and stylization.

Simon Ålander had a black skateboard lying around and decided he needed to do something about it. The Swedish designer has a talent for hand-lettering and enjoys using a combination of analog and digital techniques to create his typographic designs. He knew lettering was the answer, and his New York hand-drawn script combines skate culture with contrasting letterforms and flourishes.
