The Typofiles #92: Fonts In Use

magazine typofiles typography



Do you ever drive past somewhere like Wendy’s and notice the typeface on their posters way before the grotesque greasy food that is being offered? Yeah? Me too. Well, if you’re completely type-obsessed, Fonts In Use is your new best friend.




Fonts In Use has been around for awhile now but I felt that it was so valuable that it deserved a special call-out. The site regularly highlights a particular project its authors find intriguing and at the beginning of the article, all the key font players are clearly called out. No more second-guessing! And the comments are always great too, usually covering any type specimen that may have been overlooked. I’ve made so many new type discoveries on this site and hopefully you will, too.

    This is not so much a font issue rather than one of design, but… do you ever get disgusted by a company logo/color-theme overhaul? Even though I was already planning on eliminating my Wachovia account for ethical reasons… when they changed to the mustard, red, and carriage horse Wells Fargo thing, that was almost MORE of a deal breaker! Yuck!!
