Label design and branding by agency Glossy.tv for two house wines of Vyncke-Daels, a wine merchant based in Roeselare, Belgium. For their 150th birthday, they wanted to redesign the white Chardonnay and the red Merlot, making it look more classical yet modern. The Plaisir Des Merles Merlot is a frisky, ruby-red wine; the Merle Blanc Chardonnay is smooth and juicy.

The names of the wines are set in AW Conqueror Carved and Carved One, with grape and year in Didot. Additional information uses stretched all-caps Beaufort.

“League of Legends is a popular multiplayer online battle arena game. … League of Legends was generally well received upon its release in 2009, and has since grown in popularity, with an active and expansive fanbase. By July 2012, League of Legends was the most played PC game in North America and Europe in terms of the number of hours played.” — Wikipedia

The game’s logo is made with Friz Quadrata, and up until 2015 (when this intro video was released) the typeface was used within the game as well, along with Gill Sans. At some point the game and web designers swapped Friz for Beaufort, a similar inscriptional typeface which was selected as a replacement perhaps because it has a wider range of weights and fewer idiosyncratic and/or distracting features. The accompanying sans is the seldom-seen Spiegel Sans, Lucas de Groot’s humanistic take on American industrial gothics like News Gothic. Both Beaufort and Spiegel are also used throughout the various League of Legends websites, while Colfax joins them for League of Legends Championship Series, a competitive league in which professional players battle in front of audiences.

In-game graphics using Beaufort and Spiegel.

Nick Shinn’s Beaufort was modified by Monotype, expanding the character set and making stylistic adjustments such as the flat-topped ‘3’.

Gill Sans lingers in some of the info panels within the game, while all other type is Beaufort or Spiegel.

Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel is remarkable for numberous reasons, but the use of typefaces may not have been largely discussed yet. While Anderson has made extensive, and nearly exclusive, use of Futura for all of his movie titles and posters until Moonrise Kingdom (where he opted for a custom typeface, designed by Jessica Hische), he has employed Archer for The Grand Budapest Hotel. The countless number of graphic props that were designed by Annie Atkins include packaging, stationery, banknotes, postage stamps, signage, keychains, gates, flags, shopfronts, menus, passports, books and local newspapers:

The Continental Drift, using Beaufort. Headline using DIN.

The Trans-Alpine Yodel, using Old English and Münchner Fraktur. Headline using a faux-bolded Trajan. The text is set in a Garamond.

The Daily Fact, using a modified Russian. Headlines using an outlined Bebas and DIN.

Another edition of the Trans-Alpine Yodel, this time following The New York Times’ lead with Cheltenham.
