Self branding - Typeface Selection


6A2

I decided to use Europa for my logo mark which can be seen as previously discussed within my last branding typeface blog post. The typeface you reproduce with bold when necessary, and regular within the capacity of body type in any application of my branding. As can be seen in figure 1.

I also chose to use the typeface ‘lust regular’ as an accident type to be used to contrast against the simple and sleek style of the worker. This more decorative type offers more decorative highlight and reference to traditional typography through the use of large contrasting serifs, manipulated in a modern way through the high contrast between thin connecting elements. I believe this contrast of modern and traditional both in the typeface itself and compared to the Europa type is an accurate representation of the use of contrast between modern and traditional style in order to get the distinctive design style I've established through the exploration of my briefs. I enjoy using a mix of traditional typefaces and design techniques in contrast with modern design techniques to create something unique and very fitting for each brief. Within the recess ages of each my brace I also take into consideration a fast amount of research into the origins of the brief itself and the way in which it can be developed, which highly influences my design decisions. Research into the traditional methodologies of my briefs I believe is also represented within the traditional influences of this typeface contrasted with the modern elements in the way that I contrast my references with modern sleek design style. This typeface can be seen below in figure 2. This typeface is used within titles and headings across the application of my branding.



Both of these typefaces have been accessed through Adobe type kit, and therefore I am licensed using a commercial way.
