Titanic Resemblence

Okay, bad puns aside, I am taking a break from the typical posts to bring to light a similarity between our class work and what can be readily found on google

This is a fantastic example of how to illustrate with only letters, and fully convey what happens in whatever this is for. Things that are worth mentioning: 

The icebergs are not just a singular color, but change to add further depth and form

The text of "Titanic" is done well enough that you can read it, but still have enough to read.

The background color is a very nice gradient, and brings emphasis to the key points.

Finally, it is rather centered, without feeling static.

So, this is something to reference when stuck, and is a good example of how to use text to illustrate. 

Font Review- Eldorado

Nope, not the city. Nope, not the movie. Nor was it used in either. But here we are.

Line variations dominate the scene in this font. And of which there are plenty. But mostly in atypical spots on the letters, which I am just fine with. Also, the loop within the w is... sexy, for lack of better terminology. This font can be used to really add some subtext to whatever you are writing. Of what subtext, I am not quite sure how to put it into words. Just an oddly prominent feeling, like there is more to be discovered. So perhaps in mystery novels, or clues given on a flyer in a mass-scavenger hunt. Then, I guess the name makes more sense, Eldorado, the city of legend. It makes sense that it's font would have some sort of mystery to it.


Oh, and here is it in use-

Woah... I mean Font review- Bradley Initials

Well. Um. This font gives me mixed feelings. I like it, but also I find aspects to be annoying. Um. It is odd, that's all. Oh right, you probably want to see it, so here

Am I the only one who sees this as very weird? It is so stylized, I find it hard to describe accurately  So, new type of blog post- Type Gallery!

Font Review- Avalon

I really need to learn calligraphy. Until I do, however, I can just use this font Avalon. Inspired by the handwriting of Friedrich Neugebauer, this is a nice take on the "fancy script" style. 

There is a vast amount of style. The typical over-the-top loops are not present, and it just looks... pretty. Well, there are hundreds of other descriptors that would fit better, but pretty is a good one for this writing.  By far designed to be used in fancy and high-class situations, this has a more pointed look and is very easy to  read despite all of the excess line usage. AND- believe it or not, the website didn't have a usage photo, so yay, less work!

(I have been speed-blogging, gimme a break)

Font Review- Aardvark

Well, it just may be me, but this font reminded me of the song intermission by Philadelphia chickens

But I am pretty sure that is just me. Moving on, here is the font-

Oh! and the best part about this website- it already gives you a usage example. Makes it harder for me, as I have to come up with ANOTHER, but whatever, as long as the information is given out-

Retro is fine and dandy, but I can see this font in some form of underground music night at a hipster cafe. This font is not too flamboyant, but you can pick it out. A solid font, so a small round of applause for Font Bureau. *clapclapclapclap*

Moving on- Font Bureau

That wraps it up for LucasFonts, at least for the time being. Now we are going to take some glances at the designs and type available from the company- "Font Bureau".

 And oh boy, there are a bunch. And to top it off, instead of making a whole new font to just add in a different thickness or a tad bit of serif (coughLucasFontscough), they instead have all the differing styles for that one design. We may be here a while. Depends if I get bored.

Font Review- Punten

Ah. This is a font I can get behind. It may have some variants that remind us of Jesuslovesyouall, but it also has variants that look incredible.

The picture says it all, actually: use at your own risk. We can also see a bit of suggestion as to where this font can be used: books like the Harry Potter series, or other things that need a cool hand-written style font with an obvious flair. I do not like the variant 4 lines down, but the rest could be used creatively. I may go download this one.
