Coney Island Typography
Just yesterday, I had a great trip and got to visit Coney Island along the way. While I was there, I notice some wonderful lettering that I just had to share with you.
Paul Lloyd
It’s been a while, but in the time that I’ve been type nerding it up in the background, I’ve run across some gems by Paul Lloyd. His work seems to be a very academic approach to digitizing old fonts including several victorian and blackletter typefaces.
New Releases
Over the past couple days, the have been some major releases in the type industry.
Neutraface Slab
I’m greatly enjoying the trend of creating a serif and sans versions of typefaces. It has been one of the many reasons of why I love Scala so much. It will be interesting to see how this gorgeous face will be used. It is quite classy, elegant and charming, not to mention versatile. It seems to be a more industrial/geometric alternative to Archer while maintaining a wonderful individuality. It almost seems like a direct move to compete with Hoefler & Frere-Jones. The character of the typeface shifts quite a bit from the sans version of this font and can’t wait to see them paired next to each other.
Sentinel
A beautiful and very legible clarendon serif typeface that feels contemporary while classic at the same time.
