In Our Opinion… Favorite Fonts

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Over the course of a design project, it is often necessary to explore a wide variety of typefaces to find one that is just right. Well, just like most things in the world we develop some favorites. Today we have put together a couple of our designers’ faves, three each to be exact: one sans-serif, one random or display typeface, and one serif. Below are the results:

AMANDA:

Trade Gothic Std Condensed No. 20

fonts1

Kewl Script Regular

fonts2

Adobe Caslon Pro Italic

fonts3

BRICE:

Helvetica Neue 45 Light

fonts4

Ohrada Regular

fonts5

Electra Regular

fonts6

And, just for fun, some fonts we’d love to have:

Costa from Veer

costa

Cyclone from Hoefler & Frere-Jones

Mercury from Hoefler & Frere-Jones

Adios from Veer

As most of you know, today is Veterans Day. Blueye would like to take this time to give a special shout out and THANK YOU to all who have served in and are currently serving in our military. We are eternally grateful for everything you have done to fight for our freedom and protect us from terrorism, persecution and other life threatening situations. What you do on a daily basis is so selfless and wonderful, that none of us can ever pay you back with everything you do for our country. God Bless every veteran and their families, as it is a tough duty to have a loved one away in another country and to be there for them. From all of us at Blueye Creative, Happy Veterans’ Day!
