Level Orange

It’s been nearly ten years(!) since I really dabbled in creating typefaces, but I’ve finally added some more to the type page, including Hospital, Sartori and TranScript.

Be sure to read over the full descriptions and licensing details for the fonts if you’d like to use them for a project. Enjoy!

A few months ago, I took on a logo project and was tasked with designing an identity for a new venture into “green” upscale housing development. The biggest selling point of these new communities was that they would be constructed in parts of the country that were not necessarily conducive to “eco-friendly” housing, due to climate and/or economical factors.

Since these projects revolved around energy-efficient construction using the latest technologies and building materials, and were to be marketed to young, savvy professional types, two fundamental qualities had to be conveyed: 1) the environmentally sound design and 2) a sense of youthful, almost-nurturing practicality.

Today, I received an e-mail from video director/animator Matt Schilling on about how he found another great way to use Bad Blocks. The typeface can be seen in the titles at the beginning of the music video for “This Right Here” by War Party.

Thanks Matt for sharing your work, and as I’ve mentioned before, it’s always a pleasure to see how others can find uses for my typefaces.

Here’s another fine example of a designer making use of my typeface called Bad Blocks. This comes from Shayne Ivy, who created this poster for VH1 Classic’s Decades Rock Live series, and lo-and-behold, that’s the one and only Elvis Costello!

Nice work, indeed, Shayne. Thanks for sharing your work and I’m glad you found my typeface helpful for your project.

This is the first of a series of updates to some old typeface designs that I created years ago. If you have questions about these fonts, please contact me
