Forecast Flyer and Poster Designs 2006 – 08

on Thursday, August 12th, 2010

A retrospective design series for Forecast by Carl Rylatt (now residing at burning red studios) which were published and distributed across Cardiff during 2006 – 2008. We thought these lovely beauties would be better of shared than hidden away in a box.

Top 5 Typefaces when working with Welsh

on Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

, ,

Got to create a documents in Welsh? Getting frustrated that not all the welsh characters are in the font you have chosen? Us too. We find that the most common character missing from font sets is ‘ŵ’. How about you? I sense a mass shout of ‘Yes! Goddammit!

Well here’s a handy short list of our top 5 typefaces which include the elusive character for quick reference so you don’t have to resort to Times and Myriad (again!).

Chosen as a good display typeface and primarily for it’s caps. Not so great for body text but super for headers and headlines. Very in vogue at the moment too.

Included as a nice alternative to Times New Roman. It’s great for body copy and the italics are rather pleasant too.

Picked primarily for it’s italics, it’s another serif font a la Times but it’s always nice to have a few alternatives to set your document out from the rest.

Absolutely classic typeface and found installed on most computers but often neglected in favour of Arial and Helvetica, great sans serif which both works well for display and body text.

A nice condensed type face for when space is at a premium, it remains legible at small point sizes and is another good alternative to the standard sans serifs most people use. Part of the DIN font family,

There you go, hope it’s of help! If you have any others, be sure to leave us a comment!
