Typography in Water

14 Jul 2010

YouWorkForThem have choosen five of their most popular fonts and stuck them underwater, and I'm loving the outcome.

Agostina
Agostina is a unique typeface in many ways. The obvious being that is is a Sans-Serif typeface that contains both beginning caps and ending lowercase swash letters. This instantly gives endless typographic possibilities to the user. Agostina takes advantage of the OpenType font format that opens further exploration with a full latin and limited alternate characters as well. With almost 300 characters, Agostina is a workhorse and a must own typeface.

Black Slabbath
The heaviest typeface in the world, Black Slabbath. There's only one thing about this new typeface that isn’t colossally black: the razor-thin white space. It slices through and between geometric characters, creating a juxtaposition of contrasts and rhythms.

Gavin
Gavin began as a hand-drawn exploration of George Bruce's Seven-Line Pica, and then evolved into the Jekyll and Hyde of all handset creations. This handset collection contains a huge amount of letter designs, with each letter originally drawn by hand. Great for setting strong and sometimes quirky headers for magazines, books and websites, Gavin is one of our most intense and diverse handset collections to date. Available in two styles, the regular style contains 407 letters and the alternate style another 430 letters.

Strike
STRIKE Is a hand-set typeface that looks as fresh as if you just put your can back into your bag. These letters are so detailed that we could not make it a typeface, we tried and it virtually blew up the font application. This set contains alternates so your letters don't get so stale looking. Try flipping letters around and mirroring them for added flavor.
