01. Bella by Face37
Exclusive to the HypeForType font foundry, Bella is a classical Didot-inspired beauty that suggests the best of Paris and New York in a single package. Broad strokes and slender curves invoke the impact of vintage headlines, while the minimalist ‘stencil’ version is an exercise in geometrical perfection. You’ll want to find reasons to employ this delectable award-winning font.
02. Palm Canyon Drive [Deluxe] by Amy Hood
Add some mid-century Californian magic to your logos and branding with Palm Canyon Drive [Deluxe edition], a classy monoline script fuelled by post-war optimism and inspired by retro matchbook covers, travel postcards, Tikki bars and Hollywood. Designed by Amy Hood of Hoodzpah Design Co, it comes in three weights – Light, Regular and Heavy – and includes standard extra glyphs
03. Muirside by Steven Bonner
A Hype For Type exclusive, this cool stencil font is built on charisma – and makes for a classy logo font. The unfussy but detailed design looks very at home in a smart urban setting. Think menswear, cycle shops and super-fine stationery for starters.
04. Aracne Condensed by Antipixel
It’s caps all the way with this deceptively decorative Antipixel package. Side by side the four weights give a surprising degree of variety, while the elongated letters and charmingly irregular edges suggest everything from Tim Burton movie credits to the label of your skinniest jeans.
05. Al Fresco by Laura Worthington
Fashion conscious but not too exclusive, sophisticated but still fresh, Al Fresco brings plenty of inspiring emotions to a designer with a logo to style. European flair and romance abound in the main face and the accompanying swashes and ligatures. Designer Laura Worthington used the word ‘irresistible’ as a template and this theme shines in an ever-so-tempting font.
06. Authority by RetroSupply
Inspired by 1970s-era New York government-designed public fonts, Authority has a mildly condensed feel with squared corners. The family includes three fonts – Standard, Rounded and Distressed – that simulate the natural raging of the font in public spaces, and six different styles. It also comes with language support for 75 Western languages.
07. Etch by Produce
Slim grooves, symmetry and perfect spacing are everything in this tribute font to the etched letter plates of yesteryear. Like a ride in a classy hotel elevator, Etch can add a fun and effortless vintage vogue to the job at hand.
08. Gauthier by Fontyou
Good design doesn’t age and the Renaissance influence on this classic-looking serif proves it. Tall x-heights mean every letter makes the most of its space, and while prose flows elegantly on the page, for logo work the accompanying detailed italic is well worth exploring.
09. Breakers Slab by Kostic
Introducing a serious slab that keeps its cool from Thin right up to Ultra black. This quietly confident companion to Breakers Sans is perfect on the page and raring to go with colour. Spot on for big headers and a breeze for your bold branding and logo designs.
10. Lunetta by Sawdust
Every character in this font is a work of space-age art. The numbers are a futurist dream and the natty outline function brings a whole new level of detail. High impact yet hypnotic, Lunetta’s curves, parallels and clever use of space all serve to hold the eye in admiration. What better gift for a logo designer?
11. Otto by Non-Format
This magical looking font comes direct from the esteemed Non-Format Studio. Their work has been picked up by Nike, Orange, Uniqlo and more. This unique font with a combination of delicate lines with flashes of block colour might inspire you to up your logo game.
12. Port by Joao Oliveira
This font can leave you spoiled for choice with the sheer range of internal variety on offer. Classic features used in experimental ways invite the designer to try the same approach with their work. Go to town with colour and multiple decorations to bring your logo to life.
13. Sobek by Thinkdust
A dazzling array of acute angles and cute rounds mark this out as a very special font. Each character is a successful experiment all its own. It won’t be too hard to find unique combinations to show off in this acrobatic little set.
14. Thirsty Rough by Yellow Design Studio
Thirsty Script grows a new branch in the shape of Thirsty Rough. It has all the intricate loops and style of the former font, but with added textures, tarnishes and techniques that make this version more logo friendly than ever. The detail just gets better the bigger you go.
15. TJ Evolette A by TypeMe
TJ Evolette A has a contemporary and ready-to-wear look in the main set. Design-wise it can be as streamlined or extravagant as you require, with intricate alternates and stylistic sets available to open this font into a veritable palette of ideas.
