Button

I found/bought the button at a convention and find the type interesting for a few reasons. The glitters and the bubbly letters emphasize the cuteness of the design on the pin. That, plus the way the letters are all connected in some way - not like cursive, but they're all touching and flowing together.

Sticker

This is a sticker I found on my friends water bottle. I find the type both interesting and fitting for the rock band because of the loud capital letters and aggressive shade of red used. The slash marks in the font also emphasize the power behind the word/sound of "clash".

I love the font on this - I got this from a concert last year and have been a fan of the band and its logo for a while. It all fits together snugly, has two crescent moons in the G and T that fit the aesthetic overall. The upside down gothic cross for the T makes sense for the bands theme of Satanism and blasphemy.

I got this at a horror convention last year. Now, there is a BUNCH of fonts on this, and that's why I picked it. Instead of breaking this down font by font, I think talking about the objective of using so many will be better. Since this is mimicking an older advertisement, it's a tactic used to grab peoples attention and drag your eyes around the page. Big bold letters for the most important parts of the ad, smaller text for the rest.

Castlevania has a beautiful gothic font woth sharp corners and stuck together letters, no kerning to be seen. This is shown in both the top and bottom fonts. Putting the spotlight on the V in the green text, this is supposed to mimic a vampire fang, since vampires are a main point of the story.

This time, the moon motif shown throughout the series is used as the C in Castlevania, cradling the A and S of the logo before continuing that pointed yet flowy style of lettering. A subtle detail is the way the direction of the gradient on the C is reversed in comparison to the rest of the letters, giving it a subtle yet lovely contrast.

Simple, bold, and effective. Biohazard, alternately known as Resident Evil, is a game series about the hopelessness of a zombie apocalypse, the logo in a bold red and bleeding into a horrified looking eye thats meshing with their tears. That loud typeface coupled with the illustration does wonders to show the viewer the themes behind this series.

This class has made me realize that not all type needs to serve a loud and bold purpose. While watching a thrilling show or movie, you wouldn't want text any more loud or im your face than this, white so its easy to see, and just boring enough not to distract you from the content on screen. I believe it serves an underrated purpose.

oconnorv2 — 2024-11-24 02:14:37 UTC

There is a good example of type hierarchy with the brands logo in a slightly less saturated yellow above the actual game title, the roman numeral for 2 being a subtle enough red that isn't overpowering, but still makes a statement without being drowned out or taking away from the rest of the text on the screen.

Disco Elysium is a game packed full of wordy dialogue that I love thats almost fully narrated, but, I feel as if there is a flaw in the way this is setup. The purple, among other colored nametags, is a scarce motif within this game. I had trouble following at times due to the text for your character being low opacity grey, sneaking behind the walls of stark white text. Worst of all, that is the only text within the game that isn't spoken aloud.

oconnorv2 — 2024-11-24 02:26:29 UTC

I find that this is a type example that uses the inconsistencies to its advantage, making your eyes weave up and down between the letters, a twisting anf turning feeling is elicited from it just like the content within the show itself.

The O's being made to looj ike their floating also adds to it as well, drifting away from the rest of the letters in a supernatural way.

There are three instances of type hierarchy on this box: Arcane -> league of legends, Pop! --> Television, and Silco -> vinyl figure etc.

I actually had this kit as a kid and was obsessed with this guy, so seeing it in the thrift store brought up some memories. The font itself was memorable because of all of the typical gothic motifs: upside down cross in the N of angel, pointed dripping lettering quite literally showing edginess, and the white fading into black. This guys entire gimmick was the stereotypical scary goth, so it all fit the style perfectly.

The soft, flowy and almost cursive lettering gives off a cute and inviting vibe that matches the aesthetic sanrio tries to show in its universe and characters. The text has no spacing in between, delicate curlicues, and is the shade of baby blue associated with Cinnamoroll.

The Venom logo is an iconic and recognizable one that fits right in with the chaos of the splash art behind it on this machine. The V, N, and M seem to be reaching out from the word, sharp edges jutting out of the edges of the letters to show that chaos that Venom is known for. Even with the neon color pallets used in this art, the eye-catching yellow of the logo still stands out amongst it.

These ugly gimmick shirts are a staple on facebook dropshipping ads, awful typefaces and type placement that makes you read the text as "crazy lady hide your & act like a" due to the difference in the two fonts and how bold/big "crazy" and "lady" is written.

oconnorv2 — 2024-12-01 01:44:12 UTC

I really like how the type looks in the "amazing mango" part of the label, its simple and fairly legible, but I wish the Bolthouse Farms logo had some sort of darker outline to make it stand out against the pale peachy color. I do like the shapes of the lettering thought, very flowy and gives a natural look.

oconnorv2 — 2024-12-03 03:40:02 UTC

The iconic dragon ball z logo is a striking ombre orange, and what stuck out to me i the large red Z making itself known behind 'dragon ball' - since Z is a sequel series to the original dragon ball, it takes the place of a 2 or a roman numeral motif that sequel title cards typically have.

oconnorv2 — 2024-12-03 04:02:54 UTC

This font is always used for southern sets like this, something like a saloon. I'm not sure what the purpose of those points in the typeface, but to me due to the cowboy connotation, I think of them as spurs.

oconnorv2 — 2024-12-03 04:19:23 UTC

I like the fonts used within the actual text itself, even the graphics, I think that the washed out colors mesh together quite well with an educational illustration. I think the text placement is an absolute disaster, though. I always hated when graphic designers use the tactic shown with "dancing with the plants", it destroys the readability and appears unprofessional.

oconnorv2 — 2024-12-03 04:56:17 UTC

I love the use of all lower case for a more playful look that the brand itself it trying to go for. The squiggle leads your eyes in a fun loop across the tag, the soft yellow on stark black drawing your attention from across the aisle.

oconnorv2 — 2024-12-03 17:54:01 UTC

Plenty of examples here! Different shapes and graphics used artfully to display each word on the board itself. I personally like the simplicity of CMYK.

oconnorv2 — 2024-12-03 18:02:22 UTC

While crowded, I think the different types of fonts used here give off a cute and farm-like vibe that the brand wants you to feel upon looking at their product. It feels homemade despite being mass produced. I also find it important that the "naturally flavored" part of the text is the most legible on the page aside from the brand name itself.

oconnorv2 — 2024-12-04 00:10:07 UTC

I always thought the typewriter font has been worn out and overused for brand logos, but here we are. I think I understand what they were going for - the period after A might mean that since its the start of a new sentence, it symbolizes the start of a "new day". I think iyd tacky, there too much white space, and reads as cheap.

oconnorv2 — 2024-12-04 19:01:14 UTC

I love the color pallet used here, the loudest word in the loudest red, in the boldest type and in the boldest part of the page. Anything in the middle of a design is almost guaranteed to draw the readers eye to it first. Although I love this and the illustration above it, it takes away from the information that the post was trying to share in the first place because of how squished together the rest of the text is.

oconnorv2 — 2024-12-06 05:36:36 UTC

I like that the simple bold pink underline emphasizes the ALL, it shows that you don't need to increase the size of a type or change the font in order to express the emotion you are trying to portray within a piece of text. Its all the same font, the same size as SIPS, yet the underline makes it sound more like "we have ALL the sips" vs "you can have all the sips you want".

oconnorv2 — 2024-12-07 02:54:59 UTC

Something about this reads as an album cover from a boy band that opens for Arctic Monkeys. On a serious note, I think the misaligned text gimmick can be used well, but paired up with the boring all-lower case type face almost makes it feel self-important and pretentious. I'm not sure where that feeling comes from.

oconnorv2 — 2024-12-07 03:12:51 UTC

I both hate and like this. I'd hate it for sure if this wasn't just a typical graphic design gimmick fast food chains tend to use often to cover up their brown paper bags and isn't attempting to be a useful list. It works, but its painfully overused.
