EraMax 123 fonts from Our House Graphics - (uhlwh)

EraMax 123 EraMax 123 is a 5-layered (stacking) geometric sans serif, meant to be set BIG, for large, colourful statements. It's the perfect face for packaging, posters & branding, where a strong, colourful voice is needed... Did I mention posters? The "Max" in EraMax comes from the ultra bold weight, but also, and mainly as a tip of the hat to Peter Max, the great designer of the sixties who's bold gradient effects in some of his posters were the inspiration behind the dotted and striped layers.  This face has a vintage look that truly stands out in a retro setting, but also has a modern flavour that lends it the flexibility to work well in a more contemporary context.  This is the second of what is to be an extended family of typefaces based on the original hand painted signage found in the T.

Acid Green fonts from The Flying Type - (brwtm)

Image
Acid Green Acid Green has quite a psychedelic flair , but its origins are from long before the sixties psychedelia. Its roots date back to 1914, from an unnamed alphabet by J.M. Bergling, the amazing jewelry engraver and 'letterform inventor'—as he considered himself—whose books of art alphabets and lettering influenced countless artists, including, not surprisingly, those involved with the genesis of Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. Perfect for multiple display uses, including retro designs and trippy letterings, Acid Green has an extensive character set, with multilingual support covering 208 languages . There are yet some handy stylistic alternatives for some extra grooviness. Acid Green is somewhat retro looking , for sure, but it can sound perfectly contemporary too. Tune in and enjoy a creative trip! [Pizza illustration on the first graphic by our neighbor @pedrocorrea84 ] Acid Green Download Now View Gallery
