  1. In a few days a new (until now unpublished) live album by Bob Marley & The Wailers will be released, 50 years after their performance. The artwork of “Roots, Rock, Reggae: Live At The Hammersmith Odeon” is set in the stencil typeface Tripper. #fontsinuse

  4. FONTS IN USE: Klaus Richter’s photographic documentary “Yamakasa” takes a look behind the scenes of the spectacular Hakata Gion Yamakasa Festival.

    Throughout the book, the typeface Tausend, designed by Christoph Koeberlin and Gabriel Richter plays a central role. Tausend’s compactness and slightly slanted ends correspond strongly with the structure of Japanese kanji and their dynamic strokes. Tightly spaced letters create a feeling of density and cohesion, as exemplified by the groups of men carrying their palanquin. Combined with the Japanese font Hiragino Sans, this typographic combo creates a captivating typographic dialogue, without striking effects or cultural simplifications.

    Monasterio de San Francisco is a hotel near Córdoba, Spain. For the visual identity, branding studio Wozere made a logo using Miss Fajardose, a swirling script by @sudtipos that’s based on the work of 1940s lettering artist Charles P. Bluemlein.

    It’s combined with initials from PoW Limerick (Proof of Words), a pixel font inspired by cross-stitch alphabets, and the condensed serif Editorial New (Pangram Pangram).
