Eight years after the initial release of Brandon Grotesque, the typeface has grown into a font family of 48 styles, including a version for small sizes and a space saving condensed version. This type family was completely drawn from scratch with the look and feel of the original normal-width version. Today, Brandon supports at least 116 languages, from Latin based languages to Greek and Cyrillic.
Based on a Monotype 1930s condensed poster typeface, Placard Next is bursting with personality. Unexpected details appear throughout the design, from its wedged diagonals and single storey a to its round tittles – which would more ordinarily be square, and mechanical. The warmth and quirkiness of its character really shines through when set at larger sizes, making this a typeface for posters, headlines, and anywhere else designers need to make a statement. Designer Malou Verlomme has paid particular attention to the typeface’s ‘word images’, further amping up its impact, and added some vintage flavor with Placard Next Round.
As well as a striking display typeface, Placard Next’s four widths and six weights – hairline to bold - mean it’s a versatile design, that can be adapted for use in almost any environment. The complete family contains 48 fonts: 24 in Placard Next and 24 in Placard Next Round. It includes a large multilingual character set.
Addressotype Slab is the serifed cousin to Addressotype, a constructed, streamlined gaspipe design with gently rounded forms. Perfect for getting the right vintage look, but also solid on its own for modern branding and identity projects. And if you want to grab attention, layer in the extra deep drop shadow for a bold statement!
