Today I thought I would post something more to the effects side of fonts. I love well distressed fonts and I’ve been practicing some new techniques thanks to some tips from this handy website. I love getting inside other designers practices. I always discover things I would never think to try on my own.
This first one features News Gothic DC D and an old photo of bob dylan.
This one is Alternate Gothic (one of my absolute favorite fonts at the moment) and I think the script is Aristocrat.
This one is a hand-drawn K that I distressed and had fun doodling over with my new wacom tablet.
In other Type Tuesday news, we have a wonderful guest artist coming up! Tommy Panigot aka NO THEFT will be joining us for TT later this month. I can’t wait. If any of you other artists have some inspiring font goodness that you would like to share…please email me at karliingersoll@gmail.com
The News Gothic & Alternate Gothic fonts are SO good. I really dig the alternating size, and the 'love is sweet' one reminds me of an old 40's still screen for the title of a movie when it begins. All the treatments on these are fantastic, always impressed by the quality in your short turn around, you do this for a living or something? 😉
Awesome! That K is especially beautiful.
Thanks for the fantastic link, too.
thanks guys!
very lovely work. I am excited for your new toy.
