Weekly Replay

Fonts had a great week. Several new releases had our #highlights channel buzzing. (Note that #highlights is our Slack channel where we gush about all the cool work being shared by designers on Dribbble and beyond.)

Aaron Draplin and Riley Cran teamed up to release DDC Hardware for Lost Type. As Aaron was touring around the country, he would see the typeface he wanted on corrugated steel siding and ghost signs on brick walls. So he got his camera out and started snapping. With Riley’s help and experience, the rest is history and DDC Hardware is now available for purchase.

Kris Sowersby released Untitled Sans and Untitled Serif for Klim Type Foundry in an effort to provide more common-looking typefaces. Read about his design process on the Kilm blog. Frank Chimero weighs in with his post, Plainness and Sweetness. He reminds us, “This is why we must continually invent new, plain materials. As soon as a popular and plain material becomes burdened with too many associations, we can drop the baggage and move on.”

And some old favorites got a facelift. The folks at Fonts.com commission designers and artists to use their fonts in work that can be displayed as hero images. We love the new header images for the Bourton typeface by Laura Guardalabene and the Newslab typeface by Jessie Farris.

Want even more letter forms? We’re featuring some incredible #36daysoftype shots in a Shot Block series—so A, B, see yourself over to Courtside.
