Pizzeria Roma in Ansonia, Connecticut, uses the font Headlines for its unique purpose: headlines! The contrasting combination with the bold script Caramel and Vanilla underlines the yummy pictures well.

The menu combines A Love of Thunder with Museo.

The website uses Ageo for text and Cansu Sans Serif for the footer.

When going out cycling north of Rotterdam I often pass by this little restaurant that also happens to use a personal favourite among typefaces: Museo by Jos Buivenga / exljbris in the logo. It seems to be accompanied by Museo Sans in their signage.

“Welkom!” is added in Sensory Overload, and “123” from an unidentified sans.

Van der Leij is a cheese retailer with two shops in the Dutch city of Groningen. On Twitter, Isoletters comments:

This lowercase #DutchIJ is part of a wordmark, based on Museo by @exljbris, in which the outermost elements act as (symmetrical) brackets. That may be why there are no tittles or the like – which makes it more likely that the glyph is interpreted as a ‘y’ by non-native readers.

Interestingly enough, the shop maintains both URLs, kaasvanderley.nl (with y) and kaasvanderleij.nl (with ij).

The WashU Medical School approached me and illustrator Kevin Schneider to redesign their Research Study Participants campaign. The goal was to create tabling materials and an overall brand that would encourage St. Louis citizens of all types to sign up for the program.

The Center for Community Health Partnership and Research (CCHPR) at Washington University tables at various public gathering places throughout St. Louis such as YMCAs, libraries, and schools. Their goal is to educate the community about the power of medical research studies to improve lives and encourage citizens to participate themselves.

Their REACH program (Research Engagement to Advance Community Health) targets people of all ages, races, and socioeconomic standings. It is extremely important that medical research is as inclusive as possible as illnesses can affect races differently.

We had to not only update the tabling materials' look, but also their messaging. Their current materials were confusing, long-winded, and had complicated vocabulary that would not be approachable to potential participants who were younger or less educated. This meant not only rewriting the bulk of their copy, but also reformatting the entire booth system. They had lots of handouts, magnets, and posters, but none seemed related to each other and it was not clear how a reader could get involved.

Cover of the first issue of the redesigned newspaper.

The German newspaper INFO – Der Südfinder is a regional newspaper in Baden-Württemberg with a circulation of more than half a million copies. German newspaper designer Hans Peter Janisch restructured the newspaper and brought its appearance up to date. The new design was presented at the end of May 2011.

The centrepiece of the revised typography was the introduction of the type family Acorde as the newspaper’s main typeface. Acorde is used for text as well as for headlines and demonstrates its ability to be a true workhorse. It perfectly contributes to the fresh and modern feel of the newspaper.

The aim of the non-profit organization Conserve Lake County is land preservation, restoration and protection of native species and open space. On the website Giza RE is used for headings in combination with Helvetica for most of the text and Georgia for short higlighted text paragraphs.
