2月份最佳字体设计Top32

虽然不是每个人都做字体设计,但字体对于设计师来说却息息相关。字体设计者Sean Mitchell 公布了2月份的最佳字体,让我们来一同欣赏一下吧:

1. Reserves: Acronym

A highly refined neo-grotesque sans-serif based on Helvetica and its modern-day variants.

2. Hoefler & Frere—Jones: Landmark

The signature alphabet of one of New York’s most significant buildings becomes a family of clear and colorful display fonts.

3. Letters from Sweden: Kumla

Letters from Sweden’s first release in the “Fabrik Suite” — a project inspired by Swedish industry, factories and harbours.

4. Aesthetic Apparatus: Brass Rule Script

A geometric upright script constructed in the vein of the experimental “brass rule letters” from the 1952 German typography book Hoffmann’s Schriftatlas, combined with mid-century commercial chrome emblems.

5. Latinotype: Sanchez Slab

A new version, more robust, with straight edges that give it greater character and power.

6. TipoType: Amelia

A geometric sans, with the softness of humanistic strokes.

7. Constellation: Brooklyn

Started its life in an architectural model.

8. District: Hoban

Hoban is about contrast. Hoban wants to be noticed, but only after a second glance.

9. Typotheque: Supernova

A family that combines the spontaneity of a script typeface with the versatility of multiple weights and cuts.

10. Klim: Founders Grotesk Text

Maintains the same lineage and feel as the rest of the Founders Grotesk family, but works best at text sizes.

11. Letters from Sweden: Trim Poster

A new member in the Trim family and is designed with one purpose in mind: compact all-capital headlines without crashing.

12. The Northern Block: Eund

A geometric sans serif with minimal contrast. Shallow curves are smoothed out of rectangular letterforms to produce a fresh, legible typeface best suited to information based applications.

13. Hanoded: Inky Fingers

This rather obese font was made by hand — literally.

14. Nootype: Selfico

A modern font family, that has a strong verticality intensified with the vertical “y” and a special È.

15. Lennart Breel: Obscurity Sans

An uppercase display typeface inspired by shadow.

16. Associated Typographics: Skol

On or off the screen, Skol is a tenacious, hardy font that would make its ancestors proud.

17. CBdO Fonts: Aloha

Fun to use brush fonts, Aloha is bound to please.

18. Device: Cadogan

A freeform linking script that uses OpenType programming to replace beginning and ending characters with uniquely designed variants.

19. Sudtipos: Piel Script

A “tattoo” script, Piel is Spanish for skin.

20. Hoftype: Foro Rounded

The softer sister of the succesful Foro family. Distinct in appearance, with pleasant haptic, objective, and with graphic appeal.

21. Stereotypes: Prism

Mainly inspired by two things, the sketches of Rudolf Koch for Prisma and the proportions of Avant Garde by Herb Lubalin.

22. Tipo Pèpel: Boxed

A new and extensive 18-weight typeface, brightly conceived and designed to look good on small screen devices, but offering also enlightened looks on paper.

23. Tipografies: Trola

Its unusual proportions makes it particularly recommended for generous sizes to fit in tight spaces.

24. District: Fair Sans

A distinctive sans serif with much of its calligraphic structure left intact.

25. Jure Kožuh: Stat Display Pro

A sans serif type family legible in circumstances of low visibility.

26. Laura Worthington: Number Five

Tall, quirky, and juxtaposed letterforms provide a deviation from traditional calligraphy-inspired typefaces.

A slab serif font family, soft rounded shapes, distinct and strong.

29. PintassilgoPrints: Sheldon

Draws inspiration from the beautiful and eloquent posters by the polish graphic artist Marian Stachurski.

An extensive monoline typeface that can be both precise and friendly.
