it’s too fast. it’s too furious. also it’s a pretty cool block face from Magique Fonts – with upper case, lower case, and not much more .. but when you are spraying you don’t need much more, right vin? a nice font for starting some block logo designs or headlines. Download the TTF.

Molot – a nice, thick and heavy bold choice that would be a great display face – ideal headline – legible from a far poster for a techno industrial group, you get the picture. Upper and lower cases are the same, it’s got numbers and a little more. Not really a font for setting long passasges or big blocks of body copy. Headlines, meet Molot. from Russian designer Roman Yershov, Jovanny Lemonad. Download high quality OTF face Molot!

Twenty Dee Bee .. 20DB .. a nice retro-flavored OTF type face from Russian designer Jovanny Lemonad (Ivan Gladkikh). Sort of Art Deco, 20DB is legible and ideal for headlines, titles, display use (i can see it working nicely on posters). It feels a little like Monotypes Broadway typeface, but a little less frilly and deco-ish, a bit more angled and “russian” feeling to me! (does that make sense?) Download 20db OTF and give it a whirl.

The Weiner version of Ballpark is a fun funky script that maybe you would see on a logo for a hotdog at a baseball park – pretty neat stuff if that’s what you’re looking for! Created by Mickey Rossi from Atlanta, GA at the Subflux Experiment. Ballpark is slightly reminiscent of Grocers Script, from Wiescher Design but a little smoother and a little more closed – feeling more like an actual flowing script face. Download the weiner!

Josefin Sans Light is a nice fresh face from Typemade, a new independent foundry based in Monterrey, Mexico. “The idea for create this typeface was to make it geometric, elegant and kind of vintage, special for titling. It is based on 1927 Rudolf Koch’s Kabel, 1930 Rudolf Wolf’s Memphis, 1927 Paul Renner’s Futura. My idea was to draw something with good style, specifically that reflects the swedish design and their passion for good lifestyle, and by default all other scandinavian styles. The x-height is half the way from baseline to caps height, unlike any other modern typeface.” Download Josefin Sans Light OTF font.
