For the love of type


Kerning, leading, bold, italic, stacked ... there are so many ways to manipulate type. Knowing just how far to push the visual of it depends on context of its use. This Christmas "page topper" was designed to be used over the mast of a newspaper, appearing nicely in the old metal racks and on newsstands.

This "art head" was used on a features weekend page, showcasing acts that were in town playing at local bars and concert venues.

This type and illustration vector image was a "promo" used on the front page in the mast area to promote the Talladega special section. There is a huge audience for this reporting down South and it is spreading in its popularity nationwide.
