Some time ago we talked about 3 typefaces for powerful messages . These fonts were very valid for typographic prints or billboards, which form and style could give a creative and original twist to any job. I only talked about three but they are approximately 1,000, so today I am going to talk about other few.
Typography combination
You know it’s hard to find fonts that work well together, but when you find them it is very gratifying, as they are part of very creative works. We have already talked about my 10 tips for combining typefaces . You must be original and think about the target of the work you are doing. We have already said many times that when the goal of the project is to read (a website, a magazine or a brochure) readability goes first.
So today we will talk about fonts with which we have more freedom, very creative typefaces that even if can be combined with each other, in most cases we can create great typographic works just with themselves and their family.
In this case all are free. I also have a list of premium fonts, so I write it down and we will talk about them next time. Although the price varies, there are some that are quite inexpensive and include many types within the same family, others are free for commercial use … But we will talk soon about them.
Today I am not talking about illustrations but about images
I usually work with flat bottoms and illustrations, but today (as in the previous article) I will change a bit, and I will show you the messages on blurred images.
Personally it is a resource that I really like and that you can benefit substantially. We can blur the entire image or just a part, we can let the background becoming light and shadow … The variety of effects that we can create are numerous, you can see it on the flyer for SAFA and some headers of our themes. So here you have some powerful messages about images!
BLANCH
Designed by a design studio called Atipus, it is a very well known font used in the world of typography design. It has 6 types Three “caps” and three “condensed” and it is known for its inside model, in which the outline of the letters are appreciated. It is very simple and very clean, which is widely used on neutral backgrounds, but as you see in the picture is perfectly compatible with image backgrounds.

NULL
This is the more strongly font that I bring you today. Even just having one type, you can make messages with such force and impact as the one I am showing you now. You can use both uppercase and lowercase being perfect for posters and typographic logos or pictures.

BARON
This is the most original and creative font of the group. It mixes some characters with a vintage style and others with some unique ways, introducing a peculiar aesthetic value.

You can see now that you can do great works with pictures almost without having excessive knowledge of photoshop, gimp… You just have to apply an effect like blur and choosing the right typeface. 😉
