Amalgam
 

Originally drawn for a poster designed for the 9th Annual Spectacle Shriek Show, a day-long horror movie marathon. Inspiration came from typefaces that I consider synonymous with the horror genre due to their presence on movie posters, paperbacks, and VHS covers from the 70s & 80s, and combining their characteristics into an evil ‘amalgam’.

 
 

No Gothic
 

A digital revival of the American Type Founder’s Gothic No. 578, which was originally released by Inland Type Foundry as Gothic No. 8 and Keystone Type Foundry as Standard Gothic. While staying faithful to the original outlines, the revival adds a few modernizations like kerning, an expanded character set and OpenType stylistic sets that reflect the changes in design between the Inland and Keystone releases.

 
 

Spectacle
 

My Type@Cooper project. A text face designed for the Spectacle and its cheaply printed monthly calendar of programming.
